Coffee Jardin/Jardin: features, range, brands, taste and recipes

Buying a quality product at an affordable price today is not an easy task. This is largely due to the fact that there are not very conscientious producers on the coffee market who initially position their coffee as high-quality, and after some time they reduce its quality.

It is worth noting that the Jardine brand has long held the leading position in its production. This is due to the fact that they do not make any compromises, the purpose of which is to reduce the cost of the product by deteriorating its quality. Today, it is not difficult to buy Jardin coffee in Moscow, thanks to the Moscow Tea Company trading platform.

Brand history

Why Jardin is considered premium coffee

All Jardin coffee is made from Arabica, which is believed to be native to Ethiopia, Sumatra, Colombia, and Guatemala. During the manufacture of the product, a special bean roasting technology called Thermo Two is used.

Its main feature is considered to be the combination of two heat treatment methods - convection and drum. This approach to the manufacture of the product makes it possible to fully reveal its taste qualities.

The company is distinguished not only by its special method of roasting beans, but also by its proprietary product packaging technology.

Packaging and packing is carried out using the Protective Atmosphere technique. This approach allows you to change the internal atmospheric composition of the packaging, thereby improving the storage conditions of the product and increasing its shelf life. Such positive changes are due to the fact that air, moisture and light do not penetrate into the packaging.

Assortment of Jardin coffees

Among the huge variety of coffee brands, premium products “Jardin” (from French “Jardin” - garden) stand out. This famous coffee brand offers only real 100% Arabica beans using the latest Thermo Two double roasting technology - combining drum roasting with convection to roast the beans evenly.

The coffee preparation process at all stages takes place in an environment protected from oxygen, plus a sealed metallized packaging film - all this ensures complete preservation of the amazing aroma and taste of coffee.
