Choosing the Right Blend

A major supermarket just opened down the road from where I live. The local residents have mixed reviews. It is apparently the largest supermarket in Europe. It has been seriously disappointing. Instead of a huge range of interesting products, there are two aisles of crisps. The one good thing, though is the choice of coffee. They carry a blend called ’Good African’.
