The words of Mathilde Rœllinger
When we think of Sri Lanka, vanilla doesn’t instantly come to mind. Yet the land and mountain climate are promising, both for cultivating and preparing this orchid.
On my last visit to the Spice Island, I saw for myself how well the vanilla plants were growing and the excellent quality of the vanilla thanks to monitored preparation.
Story
Vanilla is a new crop for Sri Lanka and is still a well-kept secret .
This vanilla from Sri Lanka is of the planifolia variety (vanilla fragrans). It is grown and prepared by a group of small producers in the north of Kandy who use the traditional Bourbon method from Reunion Island. Vanilla thrives in Sri Lanka at an altitude of 1000 meters, with temperatures ranging from 21° to 27°C, in the shade of trees.
