I love vanilla coffee!!!!
Vanilla is such a lovely flavor. It's from an orchid, particularly a Mexican orchid species.
Interesting! I did not know that. Are there some other things about it you could teach me?
Well Hernán Cortés, was a Spanish conquistador who is credited with bring both chocolate and vanilla to Europe in the 1520s
Bless him. A true hero in my book. What about vanilla today?
Well, with the discovery of hand-pollination, the global cultivation of the plant became possible
wow!
The current vanilla production comes from three species that were all originally from modern day Mexico.
