St. Helena Coffee Price Variety Roast Degree Grind Scale Method Introduction

We want to trace the history of St. Helena Coffee, starting with the discovery of St. Helena Island, a nameless island discovered by Portuguese warships in 1502, named St. Helena Island, and used for hundreds of years as a supply depot for fleets on voyages to Asia, or a place for sailors to recuperate.

In 1732, the British East India Company acquired the bourbon coffee tree (Yemeni round beans) from Mocha, Yemen, and randomly planted it on the then British island of St. Helena, leaving it to fend for itself. It was not until 83, October 16, 1815, when a great hero army of Napoleon was defeated by British and Prussian forces at Waterloo and put under house arrest on St. Helena that the island's rare coffee had a chance to be known.

Portuguese Admiral Joao da Nova discovered St. Helena Island.

The period from 1815 to 1821 was the last time of Napoleon's life, and it was also the period of St. Helena Coffee. Due to Napoleon's admiration for St. Helena Coffee, St. Helena caffeine began to attract the attention of the world, and became a temporary popularity in Paris, which can be regarded as a celebrity effect. At that time, St. Helena Coffee received high praise one after another, and in 1845 it became the top coffee in London market at a price of 1 pence per pound, becoming the most expensive and unique coffee in the world at that time. But the popularity did not continue, and even the residents of St. Helena seldom drank it.

Napoleon looked at France thousands of miles away from St. Helena Island.

It was David R.Henry who brought St. Helena back to glory. When he visited St. Helena in 1986, he was honored to have a taste of the island's coffee with the Governor of St. Helena, which was grown in Plantation House, the Governor's residence on the island of St. Helena.

Since then, David has been infatuated with St. Helena's coffee, so he devoted himself wholeheartedly to the production and promotion of St. Helena's coffee. It took him 8 years to get through all the links, and finally delivered St. Helena's coffee to London on March 25, 1997, under the attention of a large number of media and the public. To celebrate the arrival of a ship carrying coffee beans, the royal family designed a unique ivy coffee can in porcelain Wedgewood, containing St. Helena coffee, presented to the Queen by two companies. To our surprise, during the renovation of Napoleon Manor on St. Helena Island, we also found some broken Wedgewood original ivy style tableware, which shows that during Napoleon's exile in St. Helena Island, the French Regent had asked Wedgewood to make Ivy tea and coffee cutlery for Napoleon.

David R.Henry gives St. Helena her second glory.

St. Helena is a coffee that wins by fame and rarity. It produces only about 10 tons of raw beans each year, which is much rarer than the 700-1000 tons of Blue Mountain in Jamaica. Its price is also 3-4 times that of Blue Mountain. It is still one of the most expensive manor coffee in the world.

The delicacy of St. Helena's coffee is hard to forget after drinking it once. I believe only those who have drunk it can really experience it. Please don't expect her to give you such a rich flavor. Mellow and sweet is not St. Helena's style. After moderate baking, she has a very delicate taste, soft sour taste, elegant and noble aroma, slightly citrus fruit aroma, dissolving in the mouth is that kind of faint sweetness, very unique It's charming, it's amazing.

There are no more words to describe St. Helena Coffee. In the process of searching for information, time passed fully and meaningfully. Through St. Helena Coffee, I re-recognized Napoleon's all-powerful life. I can't help but sigh at the thought of this awesome man begging for a spoonful of coffee before he dies. X-CAFFE students are lucky, we get some St. Helena coffee every year, but the quantity is very small, so it is not sold, but as a teaching to give students a richer taste experience, students! Drink and cherish it.
