Quite different from vanilla beans grown in the Congo region and, perhaps, a little more similar to Tanzanian vanilla but with toffee and butterscotch aroma that surprised us on our first inspection. (Ghana's location provides a new soil and climate experience that varies from our vanilla beans grown in Congo and Tanzania)  We named this vanilla bean after the beautiful Ghana town of Kintampo - a popular tourist destination for its peaceful waterfalls pictured below.    On average, there are 5-8 beans/oz depending on the moisture content of the specific batch of vanilla beans.
