rare, aged coffee beans. | 0:04 | |
They're the reason Yuban costs more, | 0:06 | |
a little more than other coffees. | 0:09 | |
It all started at a coffee roaster back in 1905. | 0:11 | |
Coffee merchant, John Arbuckle, | 0:14 | |
was preparing a special gift coffee for his friends. | 0:16 | |
Before roasting, he added aged coffee beans, | 0:19 | |
they cost more, but their extra richness was worth it. | 0:22 | |
You see, most beans are roasted green, | 0:26 | |
good, but not as rich, | 0:28 | |
so he added aged coffee beans | 0:30 | |
and created the world's richest coffee, Yuban. | 0:32 | |
Now you know why Yuban has to cost more, | 0:37 | |
aged beans cost more, | 0:39 | |
but they make Yuban deep, dark, extravagantly delicious. | 0:41 | |

Well, as John Arbuckle would say, | 0:50 | |
you get what you pay for. | 0:52 | |
♪ Deep, dark, delicious Yuban ♪ | 0:54 |
