There's one country so important to Todd's business that he must go there every year. That country is Panama, and it boasts one of the fastest growing economies in the world. Panama also produces the most expensive coffees in the world. Todd's journey takes him through the transformed barrios of Panama City, to restaurants and cafes run by former gang members and trades punches with his childhood idol and former world champion boxer Roberto Duran. High in the mountain town of Boquete, Todd meets with a coffee genius who stands at the forefront of the industry and produces a bean that sells for an absurd 600 dollars a pound.
