On May 21, 1502, while returning northward from the Cape of good Hope and crossing the South Atlantic, the battleship of Portuguese Captain Nova discovered an unnamed island. Nova named the island St. Helena.

When St. Helena was discovered, Europeans did not know what coffee was, and there were no coffee trees in Asia and Latin America, but the new drink Kawa, which is brewed in coffee fruit, was becoming popular in Yemen, and the Arab world was caught in a craze of cava. Europeans still like beer and wine as usual.

In 1732, in order to catch up with the coffee transplant craze, the British East India Company acquired bourbon coffee trees from the Yemeni mocha and randomly planted them on the British island of St. Helena. In 1815, when Napoleon was defeated at Waterloo and put under house arrest in St. Helena, this kind of coffee had a chance to be known.

After Napoleon died of illness in 1821, the delicacy of St. Helena coffee was spread, and it is still one of the most expensive manor coffee in the world. St. Helena produces only 2-12 tons of raw beans a year, which is rarer than the 700-1000 tons in the Blue Mountains of Jamaica. St. Helena coffee costs $55 a pound, which is more expensive than the Blue Mountains. It's really too expensive!
