One place to start looking for Tahitian vanilla would be Penzey's spices
(www.penzeys.com).  If anybody can find it, I'd think they could.  I
searched their on-line catalog and didn't find Tahitian vanilla listed --
they have Madagascar vanilla listed, but not Tahitian -- but you can reach
them at 800-741-7787 and they seem to thrive on this type of question.  I
hope this helps!

reading their wonderful catalog)
