I received a free bottle of this black coffee, granular put in water type and it's so sour! Got any brands not sour one or is this normal for this kind freeze dried granular one? Think I drink before the Nescafé gold also don't have so sour...

Fairprice gold roast is ok. Have a faint chocolatey taste. Comparable to Nescafé gold.

sour means acidic. your teeth bye bye liao..u can consider adding milk to neutralize.
I drink NEscafe Gold , but the Russia ones are sour, the europe ones are quite ok.. i find it too bitter.
