Dangerous Grounds

Coffee + Indiana Jones = "Dangerous Grounds." That is really the only way I can describe this reality how on The Travel Channel. If you haven't seen it, the show follows the adventures of Todd Charmichel, founder of La Colombe - http://www.lacolombe.com, as he journeys to exotic places in search of new, interesting and undiscovered coffees.

In an episode I watched recently, Charmichel traveled to Ethiopia, the birthplace of coffee, to look for a new coffee. His adventure pitted him against coffee cartels, government officials, hyenas, and locals who were initially wary of him.

Sometimes there is an adventure, sometimes, it seems a bit over the top. Either way, this is an entertaining show, with a great way to show viewers just how difficult and dangerous producing coffee can be.

The second season will premiere on January 28 at 9pm ET. In this first episode, Todd goes to Nepal. I'll be honest, I didn't know they grew coffee in Nepal, but with the altitude, it makes sense. Should be pretty interesting.
