Benediktus Rudin

has known Nicolas since the beginning of 2015. As a founding member of ASNIKOM he is a quality controller and also a trainer, who educates other farmers, e.g. in knowing the best way to nurture coffee plants or having a holistic approach when it comes to coffee farming. He teaches them not just the theory but in very practical terms. At the beginning of 2023, he became the father figure in our initiative with our farmers - together with Nobertus Teming.

God used Mr. Rudin to help us „purify“ the Two-Kings-Principle in the beginning of  2023. ASNIKOM’s leading figures had abused our confidence in them throughout the years. Through Mr. Rudin’s efforts we were able to get together a small group of mature coffee farmers who are committed to deliver the highest quality of coffee.

Mr. Rudin’s plantation of approx. 2 ha produces 220 kg Arabica and 300 kg Robusta per year.
