Pope Francis will be in the United States this time next week, and he has a few requests for the big trip.
The pontiff asked Tracey Allen, of Kansas City, to create a coffee blend for him and his staff to drink while they're in the country.
Allen says the pope likely become aware of his work through business he conducts in Italy. He says the request is overwhelming but humbling.
"I have all the faith in the world in my team and the work that's been done leading up to this," Allen says. "It's so great to be able to reward them with saying, 'we got this.'"
Allen also says he started creating his coffee blend as soon as he got the request.
