The 2nd season premier is at 9pm ET. It really is fascinating and at times harrowing to see the lengths that Todd goes to to find the best coffee beans.

Travel Channel describe the program as;
Todd Carmichael travels the globe, hunting for the highest-grade coffee
in the world. Why? Because nearly a billion people drink coffee each
morning, making it the number 2 commodity in the world, second only to
oil. Todd focuses on the very best coffee out there -- beans so rare,
they are sought after by the world’s top chefs and restaurants. Todd has
to go to some of the most exotic, fascinating and dangerous places on
earth to find it: from the cities, villages and mountains of Haiti,
Bolivia, Madagascar, Borneo, Cuba and Vietnam. Buying the coffee beans
direct from the farmers means Todd must encounter treacherous terrain,
danger and sometimes, even opposition from entrenched middlemen. There’s
an amazing story behind every cup.
This link will take you to some
excepts from last season, also there are repeats showing on the Travel Channel in DC now.
Once you have seen this show I guarantee your interest will be peaked as to what La Colombe could offer coffee fans in DC.
La Colombe Coffee is located in Blagden Alley, in Shaw DC.
