Where Does Our Coffee Come From?
If you caught our first blog post you know about BonLife’s goal to drink a better story. You read about how BonLife was founded out of the desire to bring a better life to others. And you know we choose our coffees based on the farmers because we want to be sure the dollars we invest in coffee have a positive impact on their lives. From seed to cup, we claimed to be intentional about our coffees’ origins. Well it’s true, and we want to tell you more of the story of where our coffee comes from.
