Bold, Yet Smooth.
Bold, yet exceptionally smooth with a subtle smoky note.
Wow, with a description like that you just KNOW you want to try it.
$2.99 for a can (2010 price)
It is dark brown, almost black. It doesn’t make any sounds.
Like coffee. Not a whole lot different. Has a BOLD taste. Kinda like a French Roast, but smoother.
It is a 10.5 oz can. Very hard to find a brand of coffee that actually comes in a one pound 16 oz can anymore. Foldgers is Mountain Grown – it says so on the can. Their rating system ranks this as a ‘Dark’ coffee. UPC 025500002194.
The darker the coffee beans (longer roasting) means LESS caffeine.
You may think that the really strong taste of coffee means MORE caffeine, it is actually the light roast that has more caffeine. It isn’t THAT much more. An average cup of coffee has 180mg caffeine, a DARK roast may have 170mg, and a light roast may have 190mg. Other factors play a part in the caffeine content, such as the strength of the coffee, and the cup size.
This does not have any added caffeine.
In short, the longer the coffee is roasted, the more caffeine reduces. – The caffeine content is in the same range as a regular Folgers coffee.
Did you know GREEN coffee beans are loaded with caffeine – but you couldn’t make coffee with them un-roasted.
The roasting process cooks away the caffeine, so go for the light roast if you want MORE caffeine. It isn’t MUCH more, but it is more than a dark roast!
Looks like coffee, smells like coffee, tastes like coffee. Nothing real different. Has a wicked cool name though! You’ll just want to buy it because it is called Black Silk.
It is Folgers, so it IS good, but just not all that different. The name is really good though.
Some other names that would be good for a coffee blend:
Folgers Downtempo Blend
Folgers Ambient
Folgers Midnight Seduction
Where can you buy Black Silk?
Most grocery stores!
