Napoleon's great achievements need not be said. Although he is not handsome, and although he is of humble origin, he has achieved a peak that is difficult for future generations to reach with his own efforts. The French emperor is so fond of coffee that it is said that he once went to the famous Prokop Cafe for coffee before the French Revolution (it is unknown whether to drink coffee or feel the state of the world) without enough money, so he had to keep his military cap as collateral. During the expedition to Russia, because of the cold weather, Napoleon ordered his men to add brandy to their coffee, so that they could not only enjoy the taste of the coffee, but also use the brandy to drive away the cold. Later, this practice was widely carried forward to form the famous fancy coffee-Royal Coffee.

St. Helena is a volcanic island in the South Atlantic Ocean, belonging to the United Kingdom, far away from Africa and the Americas, the island is worthy of the name suspended at sea. The island is inaccessible, with a population of only five or six thousand, and it is sparsely populated, so there are many strange animals and plants on the island. Darwin once called the island a "paradise of species." In any way, the island has no outstanding features, but it is because of Napoleon that the island is famous all over the world. Napoleon, exiled to St. Helena, once said that the only good thing produced on the island was coffee. That alone gives the island a place in the coffee world.

In 1732, coffee was first grown on the island of St. Helena, which was imported from Yemen. Although some of the plants introduced to the island ended in failure, the coffee survived and flourished.

Although the area is small and the cultivation of coffee is relatively small, coffee growers on the island still attach great importance to or love coffee. There was also a coffee improvement movement on St. Helena in the 1980s to produce better coffee. In fact, St. Helena's coffee cultivation is completely natural, without mechanical participation, coupled with the need to protect the island's special species, special natural conditions, pure natural coffee cultivation is a kind of high quality.

Coffee is always inextricably related to history, wind and wind, and great men. St. Helena is famous for Napoleon. St. Helena coffee is very desirable because of Napoleon. Unfortunately, this kind of coffee always makes people feel mysterious. What kind of taste is Napoleon so praised? Not everyone has a chance to taste it. Coffee lovers who have tasted a lot of gourmet coffee may not have Napoleon's feelings. In many cases, coffee represents a kind of mood. Napoleon's mood may be lonely. Because of loneliness, they send out such feelings on this lonely island: the only good thing on this island is coffee. It is also so noble but also living on an isolated island. Perhaps coffee is Napoleon's confidant.
