St Helena

In the heart of the South Atlantic Ocean lies the remote, tropical windy island of St Helena. The island has been a British colony since the 17th Century and is one of the most isolated of British overseas territories. The native Green Tipped Bourbon Arabica varietal coffee was introduced to St Helena in 1733 by its then owner, The East India Company, brought over from the fabled port of Al-Mokha in Yemen.

The island's most famous resident was the Emperor Napoleon, himself a huge coffee enthusiast, who was exiled to St Helena after his defeat at Waterloo 1815 until his death in 1821. Many connoisseurs consider this to be the best coffee in the world - and Napoleon agreed, stating that “the best thing about St Helena is the coffee”!
