Story Transcript:

Da: Sommeren havde svøbt København ind i en varm omfavnelse, og lyset trængte gennem de store vinduer i kaffebristeriet.

Da: Freja stoppede op ved Jens’ bord, tiltrukket af en særlig duft.
En: Freja stopped at Jens’ table, drawn by a particular aroma.

Da: Der lå en skål med bønner, som hun aldrig havde set før.

Da: "Må jeg prøve?"
En: "May I try?"

Da: spurgte hun forsigtigt og pegede på den særprægede kaffesort.
En: she asked cautiously, pointing to the distinctive coffee variety.

Da: Jens så op, lettet over at nogen interesserede sig for hans kreation.
En: Jens looked up, relieved that someone was interested in his creation.

Da: "Ja, selvfølgelig," svarede han, og hældte en kop af sin signaturbrygning.
En: "Yes, of course," he replied and poured a cup of his signature brew.

Da: "Denne er speciel.
En: "This one is special.

Da: Den har et hint af blåbær," forklarede han med en blid stemme.
En: It has a hint of blueberry," he explained with a gentle voice.

Da: Freja smagte på kaffen og mærkede straks, hvordan smagen satte gang i fantasien.
En: Freja tasted the coffee and immediately felt how the flavor sparked her imagination.

Da: Idéerne begyndte at flyde.
En: Ideas began to flow.

Da: "Det er virkelig godt!"
En: "It's really good!"

Da: udbrød hun.
En: she exclaimed.

Da: Derefter tøvede hun lidt, før hun tilføjede: "Måske kunne vi lave noget sammen?"
En: Then she hesitated a bit before adding, "Maybe we could create something together?"

Da: De to begyndte at eksperimentere, blandede forskellige bønner og krydderier i et kaotisk men glædesfyldt samarbejde.
En: The two began experimenting, mixing different beans and spices in a chaotic but joyful collaboration.

Da: Og Jens?
