Must Take Roaster’s Word.
The roasters’ blends are their stock in trade. They are the heart of their business, that’s why they do not make them public property, and you salesmen, as well as our own, must be content in knowing that our coffees are first class and take our word for it when we advise you they are excellent blends.
