The Origin of St. Helena's Fine Coffee beans the description of manor flavor and the introduction of varieties

When Napoleon was exiled on the island of St. Helena from 1815 to 1821, he praised St. Helena's coffee. St. Helena caffeine began to attract the world's attention and became popular in Paris.

It is becoming popular.

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 on St. Helena Island was favored by judges at a coffee exhibition in London (The Great Exhibition).

The light is dim

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 in 1986, he was honored to have a taste of the island's coffee with the Governor of St. Helena. This batch of coffee is grown in Plantation House, the Governor's residence on St. Helena Island, where a 260-year-old land turtle also lives, witnessing the origin and long history of St. Helena Coffee.

The present St. Helena

St. Helena Island Coffee Company grows and handles coffee in a rigorous organic way and on its own basis. although it is remote and has not yet obtained official certification for organic cultivation, it is already in progress. St. Helena uses only natural fertilizers and livestock droppings are not used as fertilizers because feed or artificial farming processes may make their faeces contain non-organic matter. St. Helena is lucky to have plenty of bird droppings, which are collected from coastal rocks as natural fertilizer, dried and sprinkled under coffee trees at the beginning of the rainy season. St. Helena uses natural spring water from the mountains to wash and treat coffee beans.

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, and a large number of birds supply fertile bird droppings, and the Arabica bean bourbon seed is famous, which makes St. Helena Island, although not cultivated at high altitude, still has the potential for gourmet coffee Napoleon is a legendary man who knows how to enjoy it, and he likes to take a special carriage carrying his favorite Chambertin wine with him during the 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.
