Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between TK and Gourmet grade?
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 grade suitable for flavored rum?
Absolutely — it’s even its ideal use. Submerge 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.
