The history of St. Helena's coffee

< Source of seed >

On February 10, 1733, the East India Company (The East India Company) brought coffee seeds to St. Helena Island, and a ship from the port of Yemenmoka brought Green Tipped Bourbon Coffee seeds; these seeds began to be planted all over St. Helena Island, and even if neglected, St. Helena Coffee grew luxuriantly and received very high praise:

In 1839, Wm Burnie & Co, a London coffee merchant, said: "We introduce St. Helena Coffee to the industry, and its quality and flavor are consistently respected."

In 1845, St. Helena Coffee became the most expensive and unique coffee in the world at a price of 1 pence per pound.

In 1851, coffee grown at Bamboo Hedge Manor on St. Helena Island was favored by the judges at a coffee exhibition in London (The Great Exhibition). Although St. Helena coffee enjoyed high praise in the 19th century, the popularity did not continue, and even St. Helena Islanders seldom drank it afterwards.

When David R.Henry visited St. Helena Island in 1986, he was honored to taste the island's coffee with the Governor of St. Helena Island. This batch of coffee is produced very little and is grown in Plantation House, the Governor's residence on St. Helena Island. Johnathan (below), a 260-year-old land turtle, also lives here, witnessing the origin and long history of St. Helena Coffee.
