Absolute pure organic coffee native species of St. Helena Coffee, the most expensive and least yielding coffee in the world.
St. Helena Coffee comes from St. Helena Island, a remote island and is famous for a famous figure who shocked the world. He was Napoleon, the founder of the first empire of France.
This sad, romantic Frenchman spent the last days of his life here. He said that the only beautiful thing on St. Helena Island was coffee. He also begged for a cup of St. Helena coffee on his deathbed, but it failed. We have to sigh the cruelty and magic of fate. If Napoleon died battlefield or was called by the Lord in Paris, St. Helena Island will surely be buried in history forever. However, God deliberately arranged for Napoleon to be imprisoned and died here, letting the world know that this isolated island also produces rare coffee.
Located in the South Atlantic Ocean at 16 °S and 5 °45 & # 39 W, St. Helena Island, covering an area of 47 square miles along the trade wind path to the southeast, is a small island with a mountainous and subtropical climate. Coffee seeds were brought to St. Helena from Yemen in 1732 and have been widely planted ever since.
She is a bourbon species in Arabica beans, where coffee trees grow completely on natural conditions and achieve absolute green organic cultivation. The taste of coffee on St. Helena Island is so unique, mainly due to such several factors. First, St. Helena Island is a volcanic island, and its plantation is different from the outside world. Second, because the location of the island is relatively independent, bees are unable to cross-pollinate. This retains the original flavor of coffee on the island. in addition, the southeast trade wind affects the salinity in the air, and natural fertilizers such as seabirds manure also provide special nourishment for the growth of coffee trees.
The production process also plays an important role in the quality of coffee. St. Helena uses natural spring water from the mountains to wash coffee beans. The St. Helena Island Coffee Company was established on St. Helena Island in 1994. Its operation is independent of the St. Helena Island government and was established by David R. Henry. The raw and cooked beans sold by the St. Helena Island Coffee Company are grown by the company.
We want to trace the history of St. Helena Coffee, starting with the discovery of St. Helena Island, a nameless island discovered by Portuguese warships in 1502, named St. Helena Island, and used for hundreds of years as a supply depot for fleets on voyages to Asia, or a place for sailors to recuperate.
In 1732, the British East India Company acquired the bourbon coffee tree (Yemeni round beans) from Mocha, Yemen, and randomly planted it on the then British island of St. Helena, leaving it to fend for itself. It was not until 83, October 16, 1815, when a great hero army of Napoleon was defeated by British and Prussian forces at Waterloo and put under house arrest on St. Helena that the island's rare coffee had a chance to be known.
Portuguese Admiral Joao da Nova discovered St. Helena Island.
The period from 1815 to 1821 was the last time of Napoleon's life, and it was also the period of St. Helena Coffee. Due to Napoleon's admiration for St. Helena Coffee, St. Helena caffeine began to attract the attention of the world, and became a temporary popularity in Paris, which can be regarded as a celebrity effect. At that time, St. Helena Coffee received high praise one after another, and in 1845 it became the top coffee in London market at a price of 1 pence per pound, becoming the most expensive and unique coffee in the world at that time. But the popularity did not continue, and even the residents of St. Helena seldom drank it.
Napoleon looked at France thousands of miles away from St. Helena Island.
It was David R.Henry who brought St. Helena back to glory. When he visited St. Helena in 1986, he was honored to have a taste of the island's coffee with the Governor of St. Helena, which was grown in Plantation House, the Governor's residence on the island of St. Helena.
Since then, he has been infatuated with St. Helena's coffee, so he devoted himself wholeheartedly to the production and promotion of St. Helena's coffee. it took him eight years to get through all aspects, and finally on March 25, 1997, St. Helena's coffee was transported to London under the attention of a large number of media and the public. To celebrate the arrival of a ship carrying coffee beans, the royal family designed a unique ivy coffee can in porcelain Wedgewood, containing St. Helena coffee, presented to the Queen by two companies. To our surprise, during the renovation of Napoleon Manor on St. Helena Island, we also found some broken Wedgewood original ivy style tableware, which shows that during Napoleon's exile in St. Helena Island, the French Regent had asked Wedgewood to make Ivy tea and coffee cutlery for Napoleon.
Give St. Helena the second glory.
St. Helena is a coffee that wins by fame and rarity. It produces only about 10 tons of raw beans each year, which is much rarer than the 700-1000 tons of Blue Mountain in Jamaica. Its price is also 3-4 times that of Blue Mountain. It is still one of the most expensive manor coffee in the world.
The delicacy of St. Helena's coffee is hard to forget after drinking it once. I believe only those who have drunk it can really experience it. Please don't expect her to give you such a rich flavor. Mellow and sweet is not St. Helena's style. After moderate baking, she has a very delicate taste, soft sour taste, elegant and noble aroma, slightly citrus fruit aroma, dissolving in the mouth is that kind of faint sweetness, very unique It's charming, it's amazing.
