Nobertus Teming

has known Nicolas since his 2nd coffee trip to Flores, in October 2015. He is a responsible man who thinks of his fellow man and who cares about the well-being of the villagers, and that is why he has been volunteering in local politics for over 15 years. He uncovered a lot of injustice or corruption and did not shy away from the "consequences" insofar as he knew that he was walking the path of peace (not anarchy) together with the people.

He currently serves on the supervisory board within the village administration and resigned from the same resigned from the same position at ASNIKOM. Now he only holistically with us as God's coffee farmer for the KAFFEEkostBAR. He knows that a lot of educational work and corrections are necessary to improve the broken state of his village (among the people). He wants to walk the path with God and no longer by his own strength.

He won 1st prize for his fine robusta beans representing ASNIKOM when he first entered a competition in 2012. He cried out of gratitude to God that his Robusta beans received so much appreciation and thus also fetched a very high selling price in his eyes, something he could NEVER have dreamed of until then.

Mr. Teming's coffee plantations are located between 1,400 and 1,600 m above sea level and yield at least 600 kg of Arabica and 300 kg of Robusta beans. Like all other farmers in the village of Tangkul, the income from coffee sales goes primarily to the education of the children, but thanks to the direct connection to us, he can now internalise what is most important in life. We remain close to Mr Teming.
