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 coffee beans.

As for Luwak (cat poop) coffee, I have just drunk the wild Luwak. The shallow roasted taste is neither sour nor bitter, but there is indeed a mysterious and indescribable fragrance, and the sweetness of sugar in the tail rhyme is charming.

The Martinez Cafe, which has been suspended since 2004, re-imported a farmed Luwak in early June this year. Its owner, Chen Weifeng, thinks that the flavor is slightly lower than that of wild species, so the price is also cheaper than in the past. 6000 yuan for half a pound of deep baking and 6000 yuan for a single cup of plug (25 grams of powder / two bubbles). Taipei Martin Coffee and Billie Coffee also sell Hao Mingliang's special treatment to St. Helena. He chose to put it in the pot before the second explosion, which he thought was the best baking point. "I love St. Helena with a good sense of balance, charming citrus aromas and a long throat for up to two hours." This is the second time I have drunk St. Helena. The first time I drank St. Helena about two years ago, I felt that it lacked distinct personality, but this time I obviously felt the sweetness of citrus, but this performance can be found in many beans. The final conclusion is that "it is more important to drink than to drink."

At present, there are other shops offering St. Helena coffee: Tainan Tree Wind Coffee, Tainan Fish and Sheep fresh Bean Coffee, Nantou Weilun Coffee, Hsinchu Iris Coffee, etc., the quantity is limited, it is best to call first to confirm that it comes from St. Helena Coffee on St. Helena Island, which adds legendary color because of Napoleon.

Take Taipei's "Aurora Coffee 100%" as an example. At present, the price of half a pound of cooked beans is NT $3000 and a cup of Saifeng is cooked at NT $580 (12g powder / 180c.c). However, the boss, Hao Mingliang, is reluctant to sell it because he does not have much, so he buys it for non-business use but tastes it himself, so if you want to buy cooked beans, you need to make a reservation in advance.
