About this show

Coffee magnate and adventurer Todd Carmichael is the Indiana Jones for the java generation. He hunts down rare strains of coffee in some of the most fascinating and unseen places in the world. His business depends on sourcing coffee so extraordinary; it's sought after by the world's top chefs. Whether he's attacked by bats, driving some of the world's most treacherous terrain, or dangling hundreds of feet in the air on a makeshift zip-line, Carmichael risks his life traveling to such locations as Haiti, Bolivia, Madagascar and Borneo to track his way from villages to mountain enclaves where the best coffee fruit hides. Buying directly from the growers means Carmichael must encounter danger and opposition from entrenched middlemen. There's an amazing story behind every cup!
