Wih Ilang/Qudrah Simahara

"Qudrah Simahara manages coffee cultivation at Wih Ilang farm in Pegasing, Central Aceh, processing his lot in collaboration with PT. Adena Pangan Nusantara. Situated at an elevation of 1,600 masl, the farm features a gently sloping terrain where high elevation helps keep coffee berry borer (PBKO) pest populations low even though navigating farm access during the rainy season presents an ongoing challenge.
Coffee farming requires deep patience, as young trees take several years before yielding their first harvest. To support household needs while the coffee trees developed, Qudrah relied on intercropping tamarillo (terong belanda). Reinvesting all coffee harvest proceeds directly back into his land, he continuously funds the expansion and development of new farm plots.
For Cup of Excellence 2026, Qudrah selected a lot composed of 70% Ateng, 20% Typica, and 10% Timtim. Applying an Experimental Honey Anaerob (Double Fermentation) process to unlock deep fruit sweetness and flavor clarity.
Participating in Cup of Excellence 2026 represents a proud milestone for Qudrah as a first-time entrant in the competition. Driven by the success of this harvest, Qudrah is determined to expand his cultivation and plant coffee across an even larger farm area in Pegasing

“Every harvest is reinvested into the land so we can keep expanding Wih Ilang and share Pegasing coffee taste.”
