Reviews of coffee Jardin
“I love coffee very much, I’ve already tried many types, but this one delighted me. I only drink Turkish coffee, but this time I decided to try instant coffee and my choice fell on Jardine because of the low price. The coffee is quite strong, but not bitter or sour, but rather soft, which I really like, I will buy more, especially since the price is good.”
“I recently bought Jardine Colombia and I can’t help but share my impressions! I drink it every morning, it’s very invigorating. The taste is soft, strong, but not bitter, it has a chocolate aftertaste, I really like drinking it in the morning, after which I have a boost of energy for the whole day!”
Also, there are no less popular types of Dessert Cup, Mont Blanc, Ethiopia Euphoria, Cafe Eclair. Sublimated ones include Guatemala Atitlan, Colombia Medellin, Kenya Kilimanjaro, Filigree and capsule options.
Soluble varieties
To save time or in the absence of an apparatus for brewing Jardin grains, we recommend the Freeze Dryd line of instant coffee products; which type is best can be approximately selected based on the description of the flavors:
- Guatemala Atitlan - tastes of medium roasted grains and caramel.
- Kenya Kilimanjaro – almond aftertaste, harmonizes well with dairy additives.
- Soluble type Colombia Medellin is the strongest of the freeze-dried ones.
Instant coffee initially contains less caffeine, so it is recommended for people with cardiovascular problems and a tendency to high blood pressure.
To choose the right flavor, you can use small disposable sachets for one serving.
