Napoleon imprisoned on an English island, coffee stories, coffee stories, island coffee beans.
After the British East India Company planted mocha coffee seeds on St. Helena in 1732, no one tracked it until it was first reported that coffee trees were found on the island in 1814. Although the island is a British dependency, there have been frequent mutiny over the past hundred years. Britain placed Napoleon under house arrest on an isolated island, and the advantage is that it is not easy for foreign forces to come to the rescue, but there is no small risk-- with the tradition of mutiny on St. Helena and Napoleon's charisma, are the British troops not afraid that Napoleon will be king on the island? Britain has long been on guard against this. Napoleon's house arrest is not in the crowded Jamestown on the shore, but in the more remote villa Longwood on the island of St. Helena. His house was converted from a farmhouse warehouse, surrounded by more than 2,000 officers and soldiers. A curfew was imposed from 9 p.m. to early morning, but there were no restrictions on Napoleon's movement during the day, provided that a large number of people accompanied him wherever he went. Although the accommodation is luxurious and decent (it is now the most famous tourist attraction on the island), it is located 600 meters above sea level, where the climate is the most changeable, the wind is the strongest, and the humidity is heavy. Perhaps Britain deliberately messed with military strongmen, but Napoleon could put up with the displeasure of being monitored as long as there was coffee. Coffee was Napoleon's only pleasure in exile on St. Helena, one for breakfast at six in the morning, another after lunch at ten, one after dinner at eight in the evening, and at least three cups a day, served by special attendants. Of course, Napoleon's cup of coffee should not be careless. As early as the sixth year of ○ in 1818, the coffee cup group of "scenery of Egypt", which he ordered from French national treasure Ceramics and painted by great painter Denon, also accompanied Napoleon to St. Helena, which became the greatest comfort for him to drink coffee and see. The coffee cup plate is painted with the Egyptian monuments and cultural scenery he saw along the way when he led the French army to Egypt in high spirits. The cup and plate reflect each other with golden Egyptian hieroglyphics and black background, the cup noodles take the blue sky under the clear sky, lifelike Egyptian customs and customs as the theme, and the portraits of celebrities are painted in the center of the cup and plate. This cup set is Napoleon's favorite and a must-see treasure for tourists when visiting Napoleon's house under house arrest. British travelers have made a lot of comments on this cup set, but it is a pity that they cannot buy it even if they have money.

St. Helena coffee is famous for Panamanian coffee, independent island coffee beans.
Historical records show that Napoleon had an affection for coffee trees, planted several coffee seedlings near the villa Longwood, and even wanted to harvest coffee fruit one day. However, due to the steep terrain and the strong wind and rain, the saplings died in a few months, which seemed to be an ominous sign for him. Napoleon was also picky about the water he used to drink coffee. He personally surveyed the springs on the island and pointed out that he would use the scenic ones.
