Folgers Black Silk Ground Coffee

Folgers coffee is one of the most iconic American coffee brands, founded in San Francisco in 1850 by James A. Folger. Over the decades, it has become a staple of American households, famously associated with its long-running 'The Best Part of Wakin' Up' advertising campaign.

Today, the brand is primarily roasted and manufactured in New Orleans, Louisiana, which is home to the largest coffee roasting facility in the world. While the coffee beans themselves are sourced globally from regions like South America and Southeast Asia, the final production and blending take place within the USA.

Ownership of the brand has transitioned from its original founding family to Procter & Gamble in 1963, and eventually to The J.M. Smucker Company in 2008. The J.M. Smucker Company, based in Orrville, Ohio, remains the ultimate owner and distributor of Folgers, maintaining the brand's position as a leading name in the retail coffee market.
