Five Senses Coffee Blog

Confession time

Ok time to come clean. Whilst Bali is principally all about the coffee we also have a lot of fun and it’s the amazing personalities that we have on these trips that make it such a great experience.

This year we have debutant Brad “King of Kuta “  Evans charming us with his enthusiasm and amusing stories of his adventures in Kuta.  Jenny “you got a program?” Murray is back after a few years absence and proving once again when it comes to chutzpah, she leaves the rest of the pack in the shade!

Tom “I’m in” Beaumont has taken an early lead in the golden shovel award with some backbreaking work on the shovel and a fearless tree climbing effort up a Balinese “ladder”. If there’s something happening Tom is there, we are still looking forward to the “banana sprint” through the Monkey Forrest. (It’s a long story!)

Graeme ‘show me the science” Burton has taken on the challenge of the “field guide to Balinese cultivars” in his inimitable style. Expect a thorough document!

Zach “the quiet achiever” Hyunh has absorbed a lot on his first origin trip and didn’t shirk the “arak attack” challenge and has once again proved the “Bicknell phenomenon” , you don’t need a big body to fit in a lot of food!

Cyclone Dean arrived late and quickly proceeded to get the party started.  For anyone who has travelled with Dean this needs no further explanation, for those of you who haven’t it’s something you have to experience at least once in your life.

Must go, time to head back up the mountain…….
