Does Todd gather his kopi luwak coffee personally from the producer?

Not sure about that one.  However, I watched the episode on Ethiopia.  He found a village high up in the mountains that was harvesting coffee from wild heirloom plants.  He bought their entire production.  I was fortunate to purchase a bag of whole bean Ethiopian Kaffe from the La Columbe website before it sold out.  With my first cup, it was like I had never tasted coffee before.

Having grown up in Latin America, I will always be biased towards central and south american coffees.  However, I have to say that the coffee from Ethiopia is phenomenal. They have more varietals there than anywhere, many of which you cannot get anywhere else.  My roaster friend says that if he were forced to pick one country to get all his beans from it would be Ethiopia.
