Fair trade coffee in your café or business?
Konfiansa is a non-profit company based in Norway and East Timor. Our goal is that as much of what you pay for goes back to the farmer – the most marginalized player in the value chain. Together with farmers in the villages of Maubisse and Parami, we have produced high-quality washed coffee. We roast the coffee in Trondheim in collaboration with Jacobsen & Svart.

Hauraikik
Hauraikik is washed coffee from Konfiansa's own cooperative, CCALMA. Produced in three different neighborhoods in the village of Maubisse at around 1500 meters altitude, and processed outside Abril's house. Read more about the work here.
Parami
This coffee is produced by a small group of farmers in a family cooperative at an altitude of around 1600 meters. Parami is located in the heart of Ermera, and is known to be one of the best areas for coffee in East Timor. The coffee is washed and dried locally.
Magazine: The history of coffee from East Timor.
We are working on a larger magazine about coffee from East Timor, and its unique history. We will distribute this to partners and customers. Below are parts of a first draft.
Do you or your customers want to learn more about sustainable coffee?
Then we would be happy to come and give a lecture!
Several members of the team have deep and in-depth knowledge of not only the coffee sector in East Timor, but also the coffee sector globally – both through academia and experience. We have given lectures on sustainable coffee, East Timor and everything in between.
Are you interested in what goes on behind the certifications? Or what life is like for a coffee farmer? actual Are you? We would be happy to come and give your customers or employees new perspectives on justice and global trade!

Graphic materials
We have a number of images, interviews and other data that we would like to share with you or your customers. To reduce the distance between consumer and producer, we believe that graphic tools can be an important element. We also have a selection of images printed out (40×60), including the images below.
Get in touch and we can find a solution that suits you.
Did you know that East Timor is the world's largest area with exclusively organically produced coffee?
Fertilizer has never been introduced in
production – and it probably never will be. In addition to Catholicism, most Timorese farmers are animists, and therefore value nature very highly. This makes coffee from East Timor very climate-friendly. At the same time, almost no farmers in East Timor are certified organic producers. Why? Certification is too expensive.
“The industry is not fair. Companies buy the coffee for a very low price. We don’t feel like we own the coffee trees. We invest time, and take care of the trees, but they come and give us the same low price every time. It’s not fair at all.” – farmer, Porema, Ermera.
