About VanillaIn order to create the vanilla pods used in this blend, each vanilla flower is pollinated by hand. By maintaining the traditional farming and harvesting methods, high quality is maintained as well as creating jobs in otherwise deprived areas. Vanilla pods come from the exotic Vanilla orchid native to Mexico. Its name derives from the Spanish word 'vainilla ' little pod. The first people said to cultivate vanilla were the Totonacs of Mexico. According to mythology, the tropical orchid was born when Princess Xanat, forbidden to marry her lover, fled with him to the jungle where they died. Where their blood touched the ground, the vine of the tropical orchid grew. Pukka's vanilla comes from the Western Ghats region of Karnataka, South India. The Spanish Conquistador Hernan Cortes is credited with introducing the spice to Europe in the 1520s. Vanilla is a perennial, herbaceous climbing plant which grows to a height of 10 to 15 meters, supporting itself on the host plant with aerial roots. Roots are produced all along the stem, opposite to leaves. Under cultivation conditions, vanilla is trained and pruned to a height that will allow hand pollination of the flowers and subsequent harvest of the beans.
