A French dependency in the South Pacific, New Caledonia has produced coffee since the Marist monks first planted coffee beans in 1860. Famous for the 'Leroy' varietal, also called Pointed Bourbon, which has garnered the nickname 'The President' as it was regularly delivered to the Elysee Palace where it was a favourite of France’s former president, Jacques Chirac. The coffee was also consumed by many other renowned people throughout history, like Sir Winston Churchill and Honore de Balzac.
Famous for having only half the normal amount of caffeine, 0.6% vs. 1.2% for regular Arabica coffees, this Leroy Bourbon Pointu varietal is unique to New Caledonia and is highly susceptible to diseases, resulting in a very low yield. Combined with very high labour costs, this is one of the rarest and most expensive coffees in the world - but well worth it.
