The place

A highland ridge village above Bali's twin lakes, cool enough for a jacket at night and built along one winding road.

Smallholder farming families running layered gardens of coffee, clove, cacao and vanilla.

North Balinese temple architecture and quieter ceremonies; spring shrines still treated as working water sources.

Highland coffee, jackfruit curry, lake fish, and clove-scented everything in harvest season.

Cloud forest, waterfalls, and the catchment above Tamblingan and Buyan.
