was blending a special gift coffee for his friends. | 0:14 | |
For richer flavor, he added rare aged coffee beans | 0:18 | |
to his most expensive blend of green coffees. | 0:21 | |
He knew aged beans cost more, | 0:24 | |
but see the difference their extra richness was worth it. | 0:26 | |

and created the coffee that has to cost more. | 0:32 | |
