This episode was recorded in a magical fairy land. Well, not really but we *are* at Bambu Indah Hotel in Bali, which is plucked right out of a storybook. We’re here with John and Orin Hardy, renowned leaders in bamboo construction, getting a sneak peak at their new expansion. We talk bamboo, why you should recycle your chopsticks and the future of humankind (no biggie).

When she was just a little girl, Ayu Sudana used to fill buckets of Asian palm civet poop in exchange for toys. Today, she’s the proud co-founder of Bali Beans — a plantation, a roastery, a coffee shop and distribution house. For this week’s episode, we’re going to her plantation, in the heart of Bali’s coffee growing region, to try the world’s most expensive coffee for ourselves — Kopi Luwak. Bali Beans is one of the island’s only coffee growers that harvests Kopi Luwak in the wild, which means we’re out in the field looking for poop. Come along! It smells divine!
