Our story begins with James Folger, who at the age of 14, traveled to San Francisco with his two brothers from Nantucket in search of gold after a big fire destroyed their family's livelihoods. While his brothers went to the mines, James stayed behind and got a job at The Pioneer Steam Coffee and Spice Mills. The Folgers team endured difficulties with the rest of the country, surviving the great San Francisco earthquake and fires. In the 1940s, due to shortages caused by the war, the company had to reimagine itself and its packaging, which is how the glass coffee jug was born.
Folgers Classic Roast is a blend of Robusta and Arabica that Arabica uses to reduce the roughness of Robusta. For this campaign, the regular coffee of unsuspecting coffee drinkers was secretly changed to Folgers Crystals. The coffee company that eventually became Folgers' household name was originally invented in 1850, but there's more to the story. A Folgers coffee is roasted in New Orleans, Louisiana - the city where it is made - by hardworking people who are as passionate about the product as they are for their production city.
You can store Folger's instant coffee in the refrigerator or at room temperature, but the lid should be tightly closed. Taking over the company in 1889, James Folger II took Folgers Coffee National, using its bulk roasted coffee to spread the name across the country. The brand's slogan, “the best part of waking up, is Folgers in your cup”, is permanently engraved in the memory of a large percentage of American families. The term “mountain grown” indicates that the grains used by Folgers are grown at high altitudes, although altitudes are not directly mentioned, nor does the company specify a specific geographical place where they obtain their coffee.
Many people, especially in the United States, where Folgers originated and is still popular to this day, have been buying, brewing and enjoying Folgers brand coffee all their lives. Folgers Coffee Company has been roasting its signature blend of medium roasted and robusta arabica beans for decades now. This blend has become a staple in many households across America and beyond. The company has been able to maintain its high-quality standards by sourcing its beans from high-altitude climates and roasting them in New Orleans.
This ensures that each cup of Folgers coffee is full-bodied and flavorful every time. Folgers Coffee Company has been able to stay ahead of its competition by consistently providing customers with a quality product that they can rely on. From its humble beginnings in San Francisco to its current status as one of America's most beloved brands, Folgers has come a long way since James Folger first started selling his coffee beans over 150 years ago.
