The Origin of Coffee Culture in Green Top Bourbon in St. Helena, England

Britain made every effort to develop the tea cultivation industry in India, but seeing the coffee industry in the Netherlands and France booming, the British East India Company also shipped a batch of mocha coffee seeds (round bourbon) from Yemen. It was planted on the island of St. Helena in the South Atlantic Ocean on the west coast of Africa in 1732. Although the British did not cultivate it wholeheartedly and let it fend for itself, it survived in a harsh environment and became a "gift" when Napoleon was imprisoned by Britain in 1815. Napoleon praised St. Helena's coffee, and to this day, St. Helena's green-topped bourbon is still one of the most expensive boutique coffee in the world. Interestingly, the British got the mocha tree directly from Yemen and did not pass through the French island of Bourbon, but it is still known as bourbon. This example is enough to show that not all bourbon beans come from Bourbon Island, but Yemeni mocha round beans are an important source. This is very important.
