Grading is Important.
The coffee when first received is
properly graded as to character, then
samples are taken and roasted and
again selected by grade. and each
day the coffee tester tests a sample
from each roast. This assures a per

different processes all light, bitter,

Two Ways Of Roasting Coffee.
There are two ways OF roasting
coffee. One is by the slower process
of baking the coffee in ovens. This
process is much cheaper because coal

long time does not retain as much

came the click of iron on pebble. Alan
