DESCRIPTION
Indonesia Team Pegasing CM
Single Origin / Seasonal Coffee
Strawberry, peaches and blueberry.
Indonesia Team Pegasing CM comes from the Pegasing region of Sumatra, where Hendra and his family run a specialty farm and washing station. Unlike much of the surrounding area, which uses conventional wet-hulled processing, Hendra has focused on experimenting with washed and carbonic maceration methods to highlight the unique characteristics of the coffee.

About the coffee
Hendra’s farm and washing station are islands of specialty coffee in a sea of conventional wet-hulled production. He works with 70 local farmers, incentivising careful cherry picking with premiums for quality and extra payment for distance travelled.
Once selected, ripe cherries are placed in plastic fermentation tanks with CO₂ to remove oxygen and fermented for 70–80 hours. The coffee is then dried on raised beds in drying tents for 20–25 days, with careful temperature monitoring and regular turning. Hendra also grows the Abyssinia varietal and works with local farmers to plant it on small plots, paying more for the higher cup quality despite the lower yield.
Why we roast it
We roast Indonesia Team Pegasing CM to showcase the complexity and vibrant fruit character that comes from the carbonic maceration process. The bright strawberry, peach and blueberry notes are unique to this method, making it a standout single origin that reflects Hendra’s care and experimentation.
Brew it your way
Team Pegasing CM works beautifully as filter coffee, revealing the juicy fruit character and layered flavours. It can also be brewed as espresso for those who enjoy a bold, expressive cup with distinct sweetness and complexity. Best suited for filter and espresso methods.
