The Jardin trademark appeared in 2007. It is the brainchild of the Swiss concern Jardin Caffe Solution SA and the Russian company Orimi Trade, which appeared back in 1994. At first, Orimi produced the famous “Princess” tea: Kandy, Nuri, Java, Gita. Over time, the company retrained, and eventually Jardin coffee appeared.
The brand is represented by the names of different products:
- grain;
- ground;
- soluble;
- capsule for coffee machines.
History of the brand
In 1994, it appeared on the domestic market, opening the “Princess Nuri”, “Princess Java” and “Princess Kandy” tea product lines. Since 1999, the company has been a sales leader among tea producers.
In 2007, Orimi Trade began cooperation with the Swiss corporation Jardin Caffe, with which it produced the most popular coffee today, Jardin. Orimi Trade also produces coffee under the Jockey brand.
It is the official drink of such major events as the highest theater award “Golden Sofit”, as well as the international theater festival named after Chekhov. The brand itself, although relatively young, is already the most popular not only in Russia, but also in other European countries.
Popular freeze-dried options include Dessert Cup,
Manufacturers and brand history
This brand is supplied to the Russian market by the Swiss company Zhirdin Cafe Solution and the Russian company Orimi Trade. Initially, the company was engaged in the supply of Indian tea, then expanded its range.
Manufacturers have taken a new approach to product packaging - now the packs do not allow air and light to pass through, therefore, oxidation of grains and oil does not occur in them. This allowed us to preserve the true taste of elite Arabica varieties.
The beans are heated using a double method - drum and convection, so the beans have the same degree of roasting. The process takes place without access to oxygen.
Raw materials and production
"Jardine" consists of 100% Arabica beans grown in Kenya and Colombia. The composition does not contain any flavorings or dyes, making the drink of the highest quality.
Jardin coffee is made from 100 percent Arabica beans.
The original and rich taste of “Jardine” is made up of many factors, the most important of which is the place in which the coffee beans grow, as well as the roasting method. Manufacturers prefer “Thermo Two” technology.
Coffee is roasted in a special constantly rotating drum using convection, due to which the beans are roasted evenly from the shell to the core.
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.

Consumer Reviews
Sergey T.: “I’ve tried a huge number of different varieties of Arabica, but I’ve never encountered “Ethiopia” before. I was tempted by the variety “Ethiopia Euphoria” from Jardin. I was pleased. Firstly, the taste, it doesn’t have too active sourness, I don’t like it. Secondly, a good price-quality ratio. Quite affordable, delicious coffee.”
Alina D.: “I’m a frugal person, a few months ago I was lucky: I bought two packs of Mont Blanc in a store on sale. In principle, I love Jardin coffee, but this is a new product for me, and at a low price. The aroma of coffee delighted me. From a cup of coffee, a trail of high-quality Arabica and expensive tobacco stretched throughout the kitchen - such unusual associations arose for me. I want more coffee like this, I’ll buy it even if it’s not on sale.”
Nastya V.: “My recent coffee discovery is “Bravo Brazilia.” I've been buying Jardin bean coffee for quite some time now, but this variety really surprised me. You feel the incomparable aroma as soon as you open the pack. External data is appropriate: all grains are whole, smooth, uniform roasting. The strength corresponds to the 5th (strongest) level indicated on the package. Notes of chocolate are also present, as the manufacturer announces. A cup of such aromatic, invigorating coffee with milk - what else is needed for a good morning mood?”
