Coffee varieties and origin description of the most expensive St. Helena coffee

St. Helena is a magical island. People who care about politics and military know St. Helena because it was once the exile and death of Napoleon, a great hero.

Biologists are interested because the island has many unique species of animals and plants, and people who care about the quality of coffee also love it because it produces the best coffee in the world.

St. Helena is a volcanic island with an area of only 47 square kilometers in the Atlantic Ocean, with a total population of less than 8,000, including several surrounding islands. But such an obscure island is famous for Napoleon's exile after the Battle of Waterloo in 1815.

St. Helena was also Napoleon's burial place. Napoleon spent more than five years in exile here, where Napoleon's life was strictly controlled within 12 kilometers of the "Villa Longwood" villa until his death. St. Helena is still desolate, with no airport, no party, and its residents belong to Britain but cannot acquire British nationality. Only the name of Napoleon can remind the world of it.

Due to the lack of access, the island has many unique species of animals and plants. Darwin, another great man and famous biologist who came here at that time, praised it as a paradise for species. The giant turtles that Darwin once rode and the strangely colored St. Helena butterflies can still be seen on the island today, but the last St. Helena olive tree died in 2003, and the unique sequoia is on the verge of extinction. Local people have set up rare animal and plant protection parks to maintain the lifeblood of these precious species.

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

The island also experienced a coffee improvement movement in the 1980s, when David DavidHenry began to develop the island's coffee industry with the aim of producing 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.
