England-the spread and brewing of St. Helena's green tip bourbon Arabica coffee in St. Helena, England?

St. Helena Coffee is unique not only in that it is pure Arabica beans, but also because it is the bourbon species of Arabica beans-Green Tipped Bourbon arabica, a bean that requires great care during harvest, washing and roasting to ensure that all its perfect qualities are preserved. Most fancy coffee fans can only dream of sipping coffee made from Saint Helena coffee beans in the South Atlantic, because they are rare and not cheap. The green tip bourbon Arabica (green-tipped Bourbon Arabica) on St. Helena, an 18th century coffee tree from Yemen, produces some of the most expensive and charming coffee beans in the world.

On February 10, 1733, the East India Company (The East India Company) brought coffee seeds to St. Helena Island, and a ship from the Yemeni port of Moka brought Green Tipped Bourbon Coffee seeds; these seeds began to be planted all over St. Helena and grew luxuriantly, even if neglected. When Napoleon was exiled on the island of St. Helena from 1815 to 1821, he praised St. Helena's coffee. St. Helena caffeine began to attract the world's attention and became popular in Paris.

The most famous fan of St. Helena coffee is the French emperor Napoleon. Napoleon died on St. Helena in 1821. He lived in a rat-infested house during his six-year exile on St. Helena. He is rumored to have said that coffee is "the only good thing" on St. Helena.

In 1839, Wm Burnie & Co, a London coffee merchant, said: "We introduce St. Helena Coffee to the industry, and its quality and flavor are consistently respected."

In 1845, St. Helena Coffee became the most expensive and unique coffee in the world at a price of 1 pence per pound.

In 1851, coffee grown at Bamboo Hedge Manor on St. Helena Island was favored by the judges at a coffee exhibition in London (The Great Exhibition).

St. Helena retains the remains of coffee trees planted by the British East India Company (East IndiaCompany) nearly 300 years ago. During a visit to St. Helena Island in 1986, David R.Henry was honored to have a taste of the island's coffee with the Governor of St. Helena, which is grown in Plantation House, the Governor's residence on St. Helena Island, where a 260-year-old land turtle Johnathan (below) also lives, witnessing the origin and long history of St. Helena Coffee. Enthusiasts began to replant in the 1990s, but a flash in the pan led to the bankruptcy of major producers and it did not even help to send coffee beans to Harrods in London.

On October 16, 1996, an antique galleon named Endeavour Replica sailed around the world from Freemantle, Australia, and arrived on St. Helena Island on January 26, 1997 for a four-day stay. After the ship landed, David R. Henry asked Captain Chris Blake to transport St. Helena's coffee to Greenwich, London, in imitation of the 19th century transportation mode and route. The captain readily agreed to use ropes and pulleys to send sacks of coffee beans on board in the old-fashioned way. The crew happily visited St. Helena Island and posted the interesting trip on the website.

On January 30th, Endeavour Replica sailed to England with St. Helena Coffee. On March 25, 1997, Endeavour Replica arrived in London along the Thames River. David R. Henry personally went to the port to meet St. Helena Coffee and held a public relations event in Greenwich with customers Mitsubishi, Harrods and Whittard of Chelsea who bought raw St. Helena Coffee beans. To celebrate Endeavour Replica's arrival in the UK, Wedgewood designed a unique ivy coffee can containing St. Helena coffee, presented to the Queen by two companies.

During the renovation of Napoleon Manor on St. Helena Island, some broken Wedgewood original ivy style tableware was found, which shows that during Napoleon's exile in St. Helena Island, the French regent asked Wedgewood to make ivy tea and coffee cutlery for Napoleon.

Endeavour Replica continued his voyage from Plymouth to North America on January 14, 1998, stopping in Tenerife, Spain, the British Virgin Islands and the Bahamas, and arrived at Palm Beach in western Florida on March 5, 1998.

The coffee produced by the St. Helena Coffee Company founded by David R.Henry is derived directly from the seeds that were brought to the island in 1733. After the manors on the island have been reclaimed, coffee trees and seedlings that produced coffee beans 150 years ago and exported to Britain have resumed production. Over the past 10 years, coffee connoisseurs around the world have come to know St. Helena Coffee and are attracted by its uniqueness. With the successful development of the new coffee estate, such as growing fruit and increasing production capacity, the St. Helena Island Coffee Company is now proud to promote its manor coffee to the world, sharing it with coffee lovers.
