Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between TK and Gourmet?
TK has lower moisture (25–30% vs 32–35%) and a less supple texture than Gourmet. Its aroma is powerful but more rustic, making it the ideal option for extraction and volume preparations.

Is TK suitable for flavored rum?
Absolutely: it's actually its go-to use. Soak 100 g of pods in 1 liter of white rum and let macerate for 2 to 3 months for a homemade flavored rum with great aromatic depth.
