I've been drinking black silk since it came out (long time). The last couple of times when I brew it, the smell is good but when I tasted it, it tasted like wood. I thought it was the creamer, changed creamers. Thought the coffee pot might be dirty, cleaned it. I store it in the refrigerator always have. I don't know why the taste is different, I don't want to try a different brand but might have to if it keeps tasting like wood.
I have been drinking Black Silk for many years and love it. It makes my morning. I have had coffee all over the world, but the Black Silk is the best pot after pot.
So, i first baught Black Silk coffee in a 750g canister at walmart and ever since, i never looked back at other coffee brands. This coffee surprised me on everything: the smell, the aroma, the taste... It's more expensive than a 925g canister of classic roast but after drinking an entire black silk canister, i can confirm it's better quality coffee overall. All of this comes from someone who used to only drink more expensive coffee brands.
