Our premium gourmet vanilla beans are sourced from three regions of the lush green highlands of Ceylon: Matale, Kandy, and Kegalle. These regions present perfect climatic and soil conditions required to grow the best-in-the-world vanilla planifolia.
The well-drained loamy soils in these lush green highlands are highly fertile and rich in organic matter (humus). The average annual rainfall can vary between 2000mm to 2500mm, with 2-to-3 months of a dry spell (which matches with vanilla flower blooming season’s need). The preferred tropical average temperature range of 21oC to 32oC is exactly what these regions offer, which is in line with the need for perfect vanilla cultivation (with the best average temperature for cultivation being 27oC). The average altitude of these regions (where vanilla cultivation is focused) ranges from 500m to 1500m.
Ceynilla’s main outdoor plantation is in Matale region, surrounded by lush greenery, with a backdrop of a famous rock. We at Ceynilla are working closely with a trusted network of home gardens in Kegalle and Kandy regions to get the best vanilla nurtured by each family to perfection.
