Parami, med sine 1600 høydemeter over havet, er et av de stedene i Øst-Timor hvor kaffen modnes sist. Mens enkelte områder har røde kaffebær på trærne tidlig i mai, er det ikke før i august at kaffen i Parami er klar. Mange skyggetrær og kald luft gjør at kaffen vokser sakte – en av ingrediensene…

I snart ett år har vi planlagt å bygge et kontor i Gleno, distriktshovedstaden i Ermera. Nå er vi i gang. I Laoala, like utenfor byen Gleno kjøpte Konfiansa Øst-Timor i starten av 2026 et lite landområde. Etter prosjektering og en anbudsrunde satte vi i starten av mai spaden i jorda, og startet arbeidet. Målet…

An important premise for the work we do is transparency. If we are to be a different player in the coffee market – and deliver on what we say and write – then we must also report on what we actually do.

Since 2022, we have been working to establish a short and efficient value chain between farmers in East Timor and end customers in Norway. It is, and will be, a very difficult and complicated task, but we have come a long way. Coffee is a volume game, and without large volumes it is challenging to both offer…

Coffee from Hauraikik in Maubisse. Produced by CCALMA in collaboration with Konfiansa.

Parami is located 1,500 meters above sea level, six hours from the capital. Here they produce world-class coffee.

It's January, and after working for over a year on Konfiansa's first production, we're getting closer to our goal. On January 16, a container will be shipped from East Timor, with 30 of the over 300 bags of coffee in the tin cans bearing Konfiansa as both the addressee and the addressee. 1,800 kilos of coffee are expected to arrive in Norway at the end of March.…

It's August and almost two years after Konfiansa saw the light of day, we have reached a major milestone: We are producing coffee. Right now we are in the peak season for coffee production in East Timor. The farmers in CCALMA, Konfiansa's new cooperative, have spent the past few weeks building drying beds and tinkering with the cooperative's newly purchased depulping machine (a machine that removes…

Konfiansa's newly established cooperative will start producing the coffee we will drink this winter in a few months. However, they have never produced good quality coffee, and therefore need better equipment. Support the project with 50 kroner by visiting Konfiansa's VIPPS shop (#764129 or use the QR code at the bottom of the article) CCALMA, the name of the cooperative, sees in these…

At Easter, the cooperative CCALMA – Cooperativa Café Local Maubisse – was finally established, and will already be producing coffee that will be sent directly to Norway by the summer! The cooperative initially consists of 14 farmers and a local administrator. Through the network in East Timor, we have come into contact with a group of farmers in the area around Maubisse in the region…
