Editorial illustrationPegasing Washing Station
This is a research profile, not an independently conducted farm visit. Producer and coffee relationships are shown only when the records agree. Check the research sources below for supporting evidence.
The story
The farm was established in 2006 when Hamdan moved his family to the Pegasing region of Sumatra to begin coffee cultivation. His son, Hendra Maulizar, joined the operation four years later, and together they transformed the site into a specialty washing station. Today, the project functions as a hub that collaborates with approximately 70 local smallholder farmers.
Challenges
The farm operates in a region traditionally dominated by conventional wet-hulled processing, making their focus on experimental specialty methods a significant departure from local norms.
Innovations
The station has pioneered experimental processing techniques in the area, including carbonic maceration, anaerobic fermentation, and thermal shock washing. They have also implemented infrastructure improvements such as gravity washing channels and polyethylene drying tunnels to enhance quality control.
Published coffees linked to this farm
For blends, a farm may be named for one documented component without growing the entire coffee. These catalog relationships do not independently verify every lot, harvest or producer. See individual coffee profiles for traceability evidence.

These source links were recorded for this farm profile. They document its research trail; a linked source is not, by itself, confirmation of every farm, producer, coffee lot or photo identity.
