The location of St. Helena.

St. Helena is a volcanic island with an area of only 47 square kilometers in the Atlantic Ocean, with a total population of less than 8,, including several surrounding dependent islands. St Helena is 2, kilometers east of the African continent, with rugged terrain and about 2, kilometers west of Africa. Because of its remote location, it was not discovered by a Portuguese navigator until the 16th century. Such a small island is famous all over the world because Napoleon was exiled here after the Battle of Waterloo in 1815.

St. Helena is also the burial place of Napoleon. Napoleon spent more than five years in exile here, where his life was strictly controlled within 12 kilometers around Longwood Villa until his death. There is a chess set on display in Longwood Villa, which is a gift from a loyal subordinate of Napoleon. Napoleon couldn't put it down, playing with it almost every day, but he couldn't find it until he died. There was an escape map painstakingly drawn by his subordinates in the chess piece! In the living room of this villa, Napoleon said perhaps the last famous words in his life to the British envoy to China, Amish: "China is a sleeping lion, and when it wakes up, the whole world will be shocked."

Due to the remoteness of people, the island has many unique species of animals and plants. Darwin, another great man and famous biologist who came here that year, once praised this place as a paradise for species. Today, you can still see the giant turtle that Darwin once rode and the butterfly of St. Helena with strange colors on the island, but the last olive tree of St. Helena died in 23, and the unique redwood is on the verge of extinction. Local people have established rare animal and plant protection parks to maintain the lifeblood of these precious species. Many foreign tourists come here in an endless stream, taking it as a place to cherish the memory of the past; The villa where Napoleon lived for more than five years has been well preserved so far, and it has become a holy place for historical fans and military fans all over the world.

speaking of coffee, it was first planted in St. Helena as early as 1732, and it was shipped from Yemen by a ship called Houghton. Although some other introduced plants have failed to be cultivated since the 196s, coffee trees have taken root here and flourished.

The island also experienced a coffee improvement movement. It was in the 198s that DavidHenry began to devote himself to developing the coffee industry on the island, with the aim of producing the best quality coffee. The cultivation of coffee trees on St. Helena depends entirely on natural conditions. There are no machines or tractors, and even miscellaneous trees cut down to make room for new coffee trees are recycled.

The growth of coffee trees here depends entirely on natural conditions, realizing absolute green and organic cultivation. The unique taste of coffee in St. Helena mainly depends on several factors. First of all, St. Helena is a volcanic island, and its plantations have different soil quality from the outside world. Secondly, because the geographical position of the island is relatively independent, bees can't cross-pollinate, which keeps the original flavor of coffee on the island. In addition, the southeast trade winds have affected the salt content in the air, and fertilizers such as seabird droppings have also provided special nourishment for the growth of coffee trees.

St. Helena has the remains of coffee trees planted by the British East IndiaCompany nearly 3 years ago. The coffee garden in St. Helena was once deserted, and it was replanted by enthusiasts in the 199s. However, it was a flash in the pan, and the major producers went bankrupt, even sending coffee beans to Harrods in London, England, did not help.

Solomon &; Company took over in 29, injecting new vitality into Bamboo Hedge. However, these organic beans are still in short supply. The annual output of coffee beans in this company is 1-1.5 metric tons, which is almost nine Niu Yi hairs compared with the global output of 8.5 million metric tons in 214. All the company's coffee beans will be directly exported to the UK before roasting. This precious coffee bean is loved by many independent coffee roasters and distributors in the European Union, Russia, Japan, the United States, South Korea and China.
