Hendra is our long-time partner from Indonesia, a producer who isn’t afraid to push the limits of coffee processing. This coffee was created using the unique Thermal Shock Washed method, which combines washed processing with thermal fermentation, enhancing the juiciness and clarity of flavor.
Story of the farm and station
The Team Pegasing station in the Pegasing region of Aceh Tengah is a family project run by Hendra and his father, Hamdan. Together, they’ve built one of the most inspiring places on the Indonesian coffee scene, a space where tradition meets innovation.
Hamdan purchased the farm in 2006, and since then, he and Hendra have transformed it into a small center of experimentation and quality. Today, the station processes up to 40 tons of coffee annually, collaborating with more than 70 local farmers. Hendra supports them by improving post-harvest quality, motivating them toward careful picking, and ensuring fair payment.
Processing
Thermal Shock Washed is one of Hendra’s experimental processing methods that combines anaerobic fermentation with natural heat exposure.
The process follows several steps:
1️⃣ Fresh coffee cherries are placed in plastic bags and sealed airtight.
2️⃣ The sealed bags are exposed to direct sunlight, creating a natural “thermal element” that increases the temperature inside.
3️⃣ The cherries ferment for 48 hours in this warm, oxygen-free environment.
4️⃣ After fermentation, the coffee is washed and dried on raised beds for 20–25 days.
This unique approach enhances fruit development, emphasizes juiciness, and delivers a balanced cup with a long, clean finish.
Variety
Tim Tim is the Indonesian name for the Hybrido de Timor variety, a natural cross between Arabica and Robusta discovered on the island of Timor in 1917. It spread worldwide thanks to its disease resistance and became the genetic foundation for many modern hybrids.
Gayo 1, officially recognized by Indonesia’s Ministry of Agriculture in 2010, is another resilient variety known for its balance and high quality. It likely shares genetic roots with Hybrido de Timor, contributing to the stability and harmony of this cup.

Why Uganda Matters
Namugowa isn’t just another specialty coffee. It’s part of a bigger story that we’ve poured a piece of ourselves into. A year ago, we had the chance to be right there in Uganda – to meet the farmers who grow the coffee, to see the process from harvest to drying. And that’s when we realized we wanted to do even more.
Together with The Coffee Gardens, we co-financed the opening of a QC Lab in Uganda. This quality control laboratory enables farmers to evaluate their harvest directly on site, refine their practices, and, as a result, achieve fairer prices.
Every cup of Namugowa is not only about flavor, but also about the future. About giving farmers the tools and knowledge that open doors to better conditions and stability. And that’s exactly why we love returning to Uganda.🤎

Why Inza Matters
Inza isn’t just another coffee – it’s a story of resilience and connection. This year, our “dad” Petr traveled there, and even though local unrest nearly kept him from reaching the region, he eventually met the people behind this coffee.
High in the mountains of Cauca, smallholder farmers grow coffee on steep slopes, most of the work done by hand. Their dedication to quality shines through in every cup. For us, Inza is a reminder of their commitment and the strong community that makes Colombian coffee so special. 🤎
Our decaffeinated coffee tastes like a fresh orange cake, cane sugar, and white tea. It was processed naturally and then decaffeinated using natural sugar cane method. You can read more about this great method in the article on the blog here.
A cup of this coffee can easily become your pre-sleep ritual. Its name, ATUNKAA, translates to “sleep and sleepy dreams.”
