As we hiked through the many miles of sun-drenched rice fields and became lost amongst the dense vegetation of Bali’s heartland, we happened upon a quiet village.

In the spirit of exploration we walked down a few empty roads and as we turned the corner we saw her – quietly sitting on her porch, illuminated by the evening sun, the strong scent of coffee beans from her stove wafting through the air.

Her welcoming demeanour told us we’d be invited for a cup. I’d never before turned down an offer for coffee, and I wasn’t about to now.
