I love coffee, but I think my favorite flavor is French Vanilla!  
There are three species of Vanilla all originating from Mexico.
From Mexico?! Wow! I didn't know that!  Does it grow well there because of the climate or the soil?
Vanilla actually comes from  a Orchid grown in Mexico, how cool is that?
An orchid? I had no idea! I know that vanilla comes from a bean, but I didn't know it was from a flower! Is vanilla a major industry for Mexico?
The word vanilla comes from the translation of a spanish word vaina which translates pod.
Ohhh! I guess that makes sense! How long does it take for vanilla to grow?
I don't know about how long it takes to grow but it was introduced to Europe by the conquistadors in 1500's. vanilla has been around a while.
