Last Updated: 2026/04/03, The St. Helena coffee variety belongs to the Yemeni round bourbon, commonly known as the green-topped bourbon, not the pointed bourbon of the variety, nor the Tibica of Yemen. The quality of St. Helena coffee is unstable and fluctuates greatly every year.

The St. Helena coffee variety belongs to the Yemeni round bourbon, commonly known as the green-topped bourbon, not the pointed bourbon of the variety, nor the Tibica of Yemen. The quality of St. Helena coffee is unstable and fluctuates a lot every year. St. Helena in a good year has a distinct citrus aroma and a good sweetness, similar to Ethiopia's Yirgacheffe ", but it has a low sour taste, which may be related to the fact that it is planted within a kilometer above sea level. In terms of flavor richness, the author thinks that it is better to be full and full than the Yemeni mocha mixed with round bourbon and long-body Tibica. The high price of St. Helena coffee should have something to do with the high cost of production and transportation and Napoleon's praise.
