Sang Kompiang Musnarja

"Sang Putu Eka Wana Prastha, known as Wana, is a young coffee processor in Curtina Specialty Coffee in Desa Gunungbau, Kintamani, Bali. Building on the processing foundation established by his parents in 2011, Wana took the reins in 2021 at just nineteen years old, bringing a modern, youth-driven perspective to Bali’s specialty coffee sector. Partnering with nearly 200 smallholder farmers across seven villages in Kintamani, Wana processes high-altitude cherries grown between 1,100 and 1,400 masl in the rich volcanic soil of Mount Batur. Viewing coffee processing as both a science and an art, he continually adapts his methods to seasonal conditions. Equipped as a licensed Q Arabica Grader, Wana conducts rigorous research and trials at the start and end of every harvest to refine his fermentations and showcase the authentic Kintamani terroir.
Navigating unpredictable mountain weather during open-air drying is Wana’s greatest recurring challenge. For Cup of Excellence 2026, he managed Natural processed lot, applying extra quality control to his regular production line. Wana takes immense pride when his coffees earn high praise on the cupping table, proving that the dedication behind every harvest delivers memorable quality to roasting partners worldwide.
Wana’s ultimate dream is to generate lasting benefits for the entire Kintamani farming community. Beyond celebrating harvest achievements with his dedicated team, he envisions establishing a free nursery program to supply local farmers with healthy seedlings while providing hands-on education to demonstrate how high-quality coffee commands better livelihoods."

“For us, coffee is 'science and art', so we realize we must continuously adapt and think creatively to work in harmony with nature when processing coffee.”
