The basic knowledge of Coffee Culture the Coffee Story of Napoleon and St. Helena

Napoleon is a legendary man who knows how to enjoy. He likes to take a special carriage carrying his favorite Chambertin wine when he goes to war. He invented the brewing method of brandy coffee (that is, royal coffee) and carried a Turkish bean grinder with him, paying special attention to the quality of life while fighting the war. After his defeat, he was imprisoned on the island of St. Helena, and after the wine was no longer enjoyed every day, coffee became almost his only comfort. "Coffee is the only beautiful thing in St. Helena." Although this sentence has been proved to be not Napoleon's original words, it is still spread to this day. Decades before Napoleon was imprisoned on the island until his death, it was fashionable to taste the coffee shipped from St. Helena to Paris.

Napoleon did not fall in love with local coffee because of poverty and boredom. Although it was buried in a long history for more than a century, St. Helena's coffee regained the world's attention at the end of the 20th century under the re-operation of DavidR.Henry. The soil there is formed by volcanic eruptions, a large number of birds supply fertile bird droppings, and the Arabica bean bourbon seed is famous, which makes St. Helena Island has the potential of gourmet coffee even though it is not grown at high altitude.
