GLORIA JEAN'S COFFEES

Australia's most delectable export 
is making waves in South Africa!

Celebrated in Australia with over 367 stores and in 57 countries worldwide with over 900 stores, Gloria Jean’s has arrived in South Africa. Enjoy and taste their superb blends and flavoured coffees, sipping them in the most relaxed surroundings in delightful coffee shops in Gauteng, KwaZulu Natal and the Garden Route and soon to be enjoyed around South Africa.

These coffees are the ultimate taste experiences, described as winey, earthy, sweet, nutty, smoky or spicy with a choice of beans or grounds that range from full bodied and complex blends to single flavoured varieties. For that gorgeous cup of coffee, aromatic and rich with deep flavours, choose Gloria Jean's and wake up to the aroma of real coffee.

Cultivate a coffee culture! Gloria Jean's coffee houses are where you linger, sip a fine coffee, chat to your friends, page through the glossies. Choose from one of their many stunning blends to brew at home and greet the day or simply enjoy coffee on the go with a hot croissant!   

On the menu!

At Gloria Jean's barristas prepare their coffees with finesse, each cup is a work of art. Order espresso in many forms; regular, double, short or long and try Macchiato, an espresso with just a dollop of steamed milk foam, swirled. Have a Café Mocha, an espresso with chocolate syrup and lashings of foamy steamed milk. Don't miss Café Latte, filled to brim with steamed milk and cream enjoy with generous fresh muffins or an enticing lemon meringue pie, chocolate mousse cake or individual chocolate dreams, the choice is yours.

 

Coffee, like wine, has many characteristics!

Acidity, that does not mean bitterness, rather a liveliness, sparkle or snap. What it will tell you is when it is flat or dull. Colombian Supremeo has both a bright and pleasant acidity.

Aroma is the bouquet, that irresistible scent of coffee. Gloria Jean's Special Blend has a complex floral aroma. 

Body, the lightness or the weight one experiences. Gloria Jean's French Roast is full bodied.  

Taste, besides flavour in a flavoured coffee there is the pure coffee taste as in a straight or single varietal, or rich and complex as found in certain blends. Look for specific tastes whether earthy or sweet, nutty or spicy. 

Roasting is complex process, it is this that gives birth to the unique flavour and aroma. Coffee experts say that this is the moment of truth. It is the varied flavours that roasting produces which satisfies diverse tastes. 

Perfect pack for a rich selection of beans
to suit every palate and occasion. 

 Smart coffees to carry! 

Gloria Jean's Coffees has joined forces with the Rainforest Alliance

Rainforest Alliance Certified works with small holders around the world, farmers that conserve and sustain natural resources, protecting forests, rivers and wildlife habitats. Farms that meet the Alliances demanding social and environmental standards are certified. That seal is an incentive and guarantee to consumers and a source of great pride to Gloria Jean's, helping to improve the lives of all whose well-being depends on the coffee. 

On the spot or to take-away!

Freshly blended fruit ices, Café Frappé are cold concoctions, among them coconut or orange, delicious with fresh as a daisy sandwiches, brimming with fillings; lettuce, fresh tomato, cheeses, ham or chicken and avocado - lightly seasoned and moist!

All wrapped up to go!

Fresh slices of chicken or beef, crisp peppers; red and yellow, a touch of BBQ sauce, layered with salad leaves and crisp carrots, wraps to partner piping hot coffees of your choice.

Flavoured coffees... 

There are many, taking every taste into account, from sophisticated Amaretto reminiscent of almonds, the freshness of Blueberry Morning to the unctuousness of Vanilla Hazelnut Cream with hints of hazelnut and creamy vanilla. Choose from  gorgeous flavours with hints of cognac, cinnamon, rum, butterscotch and whisky. Try Chocolate married with Macadamia Nut and German Chocolate Cake a delectable mix of rich chocolate and coconut. 

Gloria Jean's Coffees have unique signature blends, achieving flavours that are well rounded, more complete and different from the flavour produced by varietal coffee. For instance Jamaican Blue Mountain is spicy sweet, has a fleeting finish and is medium in body. French Breakfast Blend has an aroma that is caramels, a flavour that is rich, a finish that is smooth and a body that is medium. 

While the Espresso Blend is nutty, smokey, bittersweet and has a medium body, Italian Espresso, the home of espresso, is smokey, bittersweet, syrupy with a full body. There are blends to please all palates.
