St. Helena Coffee, one of the ten most expensive coffee in the world, has been out of stock in Taiwan for two years, and the annual output of raw beans has shrunk from 12 metric tons to 275 kilograms. Taiwan first formally imported St. Helena Coffee in 2006, a British island in the Atlantic Ocean. Napoleon is said to have left a famous saying: "Coffee is the only beautiful thing on St. Helena Island!" .

St. Helena Coffee is a very delicate and rich variety, with a pleasant and bright taste, slightly sour apple, with some milky aromas, walnuts and a hint of tobacco.

Napoleon believed that the only good thing from the island was coffee.

St. Helena (St Helena) is located in the Atlantic Ocean, 2000 km from Africa and 3500 km from Brazil, with a population of about 5000. Of course, the island is famous because Napoleon was exiled after the Battle of Waterloo in 1815 and died on the island in 1821.

Coffee was first grown on the island of St. Helena in 1732 and was transported from Yemen on a ship called the Houghton. Although some other introduced plants have failed since the 1860s, coffee has taken root and flourished here.

The island also experienced a coffee improvement movement, where in the mid-1980s, David? David Henry began to devote himself to the development of the coffee industry on the island in order to produce the best quality coffee. Coffee trees on St. Helena are grown entirely on natural conditions, with no machinery, no tractors, and even miscellaneous trees that have been cut down to make room for new coffee trees are recycled.

In addition to Napoleon, St. Helena in the Atlantic Ocean also has a world-class specialty, that is, St. Helena Coffee, which has become a valuable brand, which fully reflects the story of globalization before the 20th century. The world's coffee originated in Ethiopia, which was considered a transcontinental hegemony in the Middle Ages, crossing the Red Sea to occupy the southern shore of Yemen on the Arabian Peninsula and bringing coffee to Arabia, where Yemen cultivated the popular brand Mocha. Later, the British merchant sailed from Yemen to the Atlantic Ocean and brought the coffee beans to St. Helena. all other introduced plants died, but the coffee tree survived. Napoleon was imprisoned to death in the area, believing that the only attraction of the island was coffee. This "news" spread to Europe and became the best sales slogan for businessmen. Due to the extremely small area and remote location of the sacred island, even if there are special agents of coffee companies on the island, the demand for the brand is still far greater than the supply, and the price is naturally pushed up. In fact, the taste is said to be mediocre.
