St. Helena Coffee dates back to 1733 and was brought into seed cultivation by the British East India Company. At that time, it was difficult to figure out the commercial purpose of bringing coffee. Anyway, it was planted everywhere, and it was as luxuriant as not to take care of it. During this period, Napoleon was exiled to the island after Napoleon's defeat, and this tragic hero added some color to St. Helena's coffee. Napoleon left a famous saying: "Coffee is the only beautiful thing in St. Helena Island!" . After two or three hundred years, an Englishman David R.Henry, who went to visit, restarted the rebirth of St. Helena Coffee, and finally transferred coffee lovers to taste the top concept!

St. Helena Coffee from Shawan Manor (Sandy Bay Estate), a variety of Green Tipped Bourbon, is planted at 1000 meters above sea level and treated by washing. Coffee beans produced on St. Helena Island, no matter which estate they come from, will eventually be handled centrally by the St. Helena Coffee Company.

St. Helena Coffee is not graded, and all the coffee sold by St. Helena Coffee is at the top, so the annual supply is quite small. St. Helena has no air transport service, and it takes about five days for all beans to be transported by sea to nearby towns with air transport services. St. Helena Coffee marked each shipment by air as soon as it was shipped, so after it was shipped to a town with air transportation, it no longer needed any customs clearance or signing documents, so it was natural to get on the plane. After getting on the plane, it will reach the customer in about a week.

Napoleon was banned on the island of St. Helena from 1815 to 1821, but he also tasted the coffee here and praised her after drinking it, and people have been amazed about the coffee ever since.

In 1839, Wm Burnie & Co, a London coffee merchant, said: "We have received samples of St. Helena's raw beans from you. After our tests, we found that this coffee has excellent quality and unique taste."

At that time (1845), St. Helena Coffee was the most expensive and rarest coffee in the world at a price of one pound per pound.

At the London Coffee Show in 1851, GWAlexander sent St. Helena Coffee to London and received high reviews in the exhibition.

Planting variety

Green Tipped Bourbon Arabica, bourbon

This kind of bean is a very delicate and fragile variety, no matter in planting, harvesting, washing treatment, baking, all need to pay great attention to ensure that a wonderful cup of coffee is produced. Green Tipped Bourbon Arabica is a coffee tree species in the Yemeni region. At that time, it was carried by a "Houghton" ship sailing out of the Yemeni port of Moka. The captain's name was Philips.

As soon as the plant is brought to St. Helena Island, it is taken to different points on the island for planting. Because these sites are very suitable, the coffee trees in these places can grow luxuriantly despite a long period of neglect.
