![]() The peppermint and chocolate masked the bitterness of the coffee bringing out the smoky flavor even more. After eating the chocolate, I took a sip of the coffee, and I loved the end result. Now, to test the Black Gold even further, I paired it with its San Francisco neighbor…Ghirardelli dark chocolate! This chocolate had peppermint on it as well. The body is clearly dark roast, as the flavor lingers and was what I call “medium” acidity. I could drink several cups of this stuff. Weak coffee makes me angry, you might as well just drink water…so I love strong coffee. My preference is, the heavier the better. The bag recommends 2 tablespoons per 6 oz. At least the coffee bag was not lying about the cocoa notes. I cannot say either was overpowering but was enough to notice. This is not very shocking as coffee is typically acidic anyway, but this flavor was not “highly” acidic.Īs far as actual taste, it did taste semi-bitter and dark chocolatey. The 1850 Black Gold stayed on the tip of my tongue, which generally means it is acidic. In order to locate the taste of coffee, you have to slurp it to figure out where the coffee sits on your tongue. For a lady or gentleman that needs their coffee fix in the morning, this coffee gets you craving it even more with the aroma it gives off. The bag noted that it had a touch of dark cocoa in it. Folgers normally has a nice smell to it anyway, and the 1850 is no different. I would consider it smoky and a tad nutty. I drink it as God intended it, straight and black. ![]() As a coffee addict, I prefer dark roast coffees to the lighter roast, and I never add cream or sugar to my coffee. My coffee testing will be broken down into 4 categories: aroma, location of taste, actual taste or aftertaste, and body. Heck, the name is Black Gold, that sounds pretty promising…right? Maybe I am just a sucker for vintage looking items, but I decided I would give it a try. The navy blue and gold looked pretty vintage and the font looked classy. I am not going to lie, I was randomly walking through the grocery store aisle and this bag of coffee caught my eye. Even though many had moved there in search of gold, Folger created his own form of “liquid” gold. Folger and his family were in San Francisco during the time of the California Gold Rush. Folger opened up a Coffee and Spice Mill. The name comes from the exact year that founder James A. “The best part of waking up, is Folgers in your cup.” We have all heard this slogan once or twice in our lives, right? Well, Folgers coffee has created a new brand called 1850.
