It Isn't the Cook's Fault, It isn’t your Grocar’s Fault, that the bulk coffee you just purchased turns out to be different from the “same kind" bought before. Coffee purchased in bulk is sure to vary. The sealed package in which LION COFFEE is sold insures uniform flavor and strength. It also keeps the coffee fresh and insures absolute purity.
