Nepal's Impossible Beans - Buddakan

In the episode Himalayan Outpost, Todd takes on the daunting task of finding a delicious coffee bean for his client, Stephan Starr, whose brutal honesty and high standards raise the stakes. Due to Nepal’s humid climate, it’s nearly impossible to get fresh coffee beans from the farms high in the Himalayas to restaurants in the United States. But Todd pulls it off for Starr’s series of Buddakan restaurants, making it the only restaurant in the country to serve coffee from the birthplace of Buddha. You can find this extra-special coffee at Buddakan restaurants in New York City, Atlantic City and its flagship location in Philadelphia.

A Rare Thai Coffee Bean - West Elm Market

In the episode, Golden Triangle, Todd goes to Thailand to search for the perfect coffee bean for his client Jim Brett, president of west elm. Todd knows exactly where to go: The Doi Chaang Coffee Company’s farms in the hills of Northern Thailand in what was once opium country. The Doi Chaang Coffee Company is a unique partnership between a Canadian business and the Akha hill tribe, with the growers earning 50% of the company’s profits.

Todd manages to bring back the Doi Chaang Peaberry -- a shade-grown, handpicked, sundried coffee bean -- for west elm. The peaberry is a kind of coffee bean that grows when the coffee fruit develops only a single oval bean, rather than the two flat-sided beans that are usually found. Some people consider peaberry coffee superior to regular coffee because of its delicate flavor.

Find the Doi Chaang Peaberry Coffee in select west elm MARKET stores worldwide.
