Origin and Processing

It grows on Saint Helena, a remote island in the South Atlantic, known for extremely limited coffee production and a remarkable place in coffee history. The Green-Tipped Bourbon Arabica variety is linked to coffee plants from Mocha, Yemen, introduced to the island in the 18th century, making this one of the most historically interesting and distinctive origins in the catalog.

The coffee is processed as Fully Washed and then sun dried, preserving a clean, clear, and elegant profile. The result is a refined cup with a beautifully balanced combination of fruit, sweetness, soft florals, and silky texture.
