The store consistently delivers fast delivery and careful packaging, ensuring orders arrive quickly and in good condition. Customers highlight a broad and varied selection, with many praising the authentic flavors of the spices and the superb fragrance of vanillas, peppers, and pralines. Product quality is repeatedly emphasized across multiple categories, with mentions of excellent quality, top-tier packaging containers, and reliable, repeatable results in cooking. The overall experience is described as friendly and efficient, with happy customers returning for repeat orders and noting favorable prices and value.
The site is ergonomic, it is pleasant to navigate and very nice to find advice and recipes. If I have a complaint, it is the lack of transparency. Among the mixed spices (curry, marinade or barbecue mixes...) the composition is sometimes very vague 'spices'. It's a shame, especially for allergic people who need to be careful.

The tea packaging is not practical at all. Previously, the bags were resealable, now an order of 100g of tea is dispatched in 4 bags that cannot be preserved once opened. The vanilla has no taste, I am very disappointed, I don't think I will order again.

Hello Marie-Christine, We have created new tasting formats of 20g or 25g depending on the references. When sending 100g, we send 4 bags based on 25g. The price of packaging has tripled in 3 years, we wanted to simplify it so that it is recyclable, airtight, and always meets food standards. The result is that we can offer teas at very attractive prices so that our customers can discover our collection. The red vanilla pods are dry vanilla pods that need to be rehydrated to develop their aromas. This same vanilla represents 90% of the world's vanilla sales (clients such as flavorists, ice cream makers, etc.) We will soon offer glass packaging so that our customers can have a choice. Thank you for your understanding. Looking forward, David

The products are of very good quality. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed that the two main products I wanted to order were suddenly no longer available. In these circumstances, I would have preferred to cancel the entire order or add similar products. Unfortunately, I was only informed after the package was shipped. For the missing products, I was refunded quickly but now I still do not have the products I wanted and will have to pay for shipping again. I was very disappointed. It would be better to inform people before shipping an incomplete order!

Hello Martine,
On the December order, it is clearly stated on the package to "take the pods out of the sachet and put them in a base of alcohol". It was about fresh vanilla from the last harvest and it is essential to follow this advice to preserve them.
Thank you for your understanding,
Best regards,

Disappointing after-sales service. No discussion possible following a delivery problem! Order delivered for them but where? The postman marked it as delivered but he made a mistake with the address!! I had to search for my package myself! Yes it was delivered but elsewhere! You need to change service providers! But your customers are not responsible for YOUR delivery choices. So a lost customer... But maybe you can afford it.

The package was delivered on May 12. As explained in our T&Cs, a package delivered with a receipt is not refundable. Fanny responded to your request and conducted a search minutes after your call to ensure tracking. We do not wish to change service providers. Thank you for your understanding, David

Response from DavidVanille.com – Spice Hunter
Hello, Why put the pods under vacuum? We do not highlight it on our sheets and do not wish to do so. You bought red vanilla and came back to us because the pods were dry and crooked. We replied that it was indeed the characteristics of this vanilla with a high vanillin content. Giving a rating of 3/5 when the delivery was FREE via the promotional operation and with the service (preparation, SMS tracking, customer service questions, ...) that we offer for an unrelated reason not claimed or stated in our sheet is off-topic. Some of our competitors offer beautiful swollen pods in water and vacuum-sealed, feel free to test. Have a good week, David

Regarding the storage of vanilla pods, I have stored vanilla pods in a glass jar for several months without any problem, only poor quality pods justify storage with alcohol.

Hello
Disappointed after receiving the vanilla pods
The pods were drier, thus less aromatic
Compared to those I usually get
They are plump and fatty. They are packaged in special tubes for vanilla pods and for the same price.
I had to package them in test tubes for vanilla pods with a bit of rum away from light to see over time

We did not find the missing product and the person had no solution to offer me, so she told me she would talk to David and that he would contact me quickly. I have not heard back since.

Response from DavidVanille.com – Spice Hunter
Hello Aurélien, You purchased Bourbon Red vanilla from Madagascar, here is the description visible on the sheet: A HUGE HEARTTHROB - What aromatic power! I strongly invite you to discover this Grand Cru vanilla worked in the old way by my teams. Pods at full maturity, a fireworks display of aromatic amplitude! A higher dry matter content, a reduced humidity level, allowing for all the aromatic precision of my harvest. It is from my beginnings on the beaches of Sainte Anne (Guadeloupe). The weight of a pod does not determine its quality. You weigh as a professional a water content. At our level, in the importation of vanilla, after years in the industry, here are the most important points: - Vanillin content (main molecule for purely vanilla notes) - Associated aromatic amplitude On this batch: Main Notes: Vanilla, Red Fruits (Raspberries, Currants), Forest Fruits (Blackberries, Blueberries) Heart Notes: Slightly woody, Very candied. - Harvest period - Aging of the batch, respect for the specifications specific to each importer (here, long traditional aging as in the past). - Nutrients from the soil from which the pods come, indigenous terroir, type of cultivation (shade, agroforestry, intensive...) - Final result in the creations of our chef and individual clients. Finally, the vanilla that the industry buys to create vanilla extract is only split or unsplit vanilla extraction. Like us, it focuses on the quality of the batch and not on the visual. Today, 90% of imports in the agri-food sector remain vanilla extraction for the quality of its aromatic contents (though dry but much more intense). You have a video presentation that complements the description on the same sheet. Thank you in advance for taking the time to read the sheet. Have a great day, Looking forward to it, David Vanille
