Yes, originally from Mexico.
The vanilla bean was first used by the Totonac people of Mexico, who cultivated it for its flavor and fragrance. Later, the Aztecs also adopted its use, particularly in their chocolate drinks.

Mexican vanilla is a type of vanilla that comes from the vanilla orchids grown in Mexico. It is known for its rich and creamy flavor with spicy undertones. Mexican vanilla is often considered to be more complex and bold compared to other types of vanilla, such as Madagascar or Tahitian vanilla.
