Every coffee is the story of many people.
From the farmer who cares for and harvests the coffee cherries, to the traders who transport the coffee to locations worldwide, to the roasters, the brewers, and finally to the drinkers.
At BonLife, we want people to be more aware of the role we all play in improving the lives of those involved in this story.
Coffee is one of the most valuable and widely-traded commodities in the world, but it is produced almost exclusively in the poorest countries.
To inspire action, we choose to directly source from farms that produce exceptional quality coffees while also ensuring that farmers and workers are receiving living wages.
We strive to positively impact the communities within these regions and regularly visit our farm partnerships.
We work directly with farmers in countries such as Haiti, Ethiopia, Uganda, Burundi, Honduras, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Bolivia, to just name a few! We want to bring back the coffee business to these phenomenal countries and, with your help, we are doing just that— one farm at a time.
BonLife means “Good Life”, and that’s what we are striving to live and inspire every day. We are excited to share these coffees with you and for you to join us on this story of impact, sustainability, and empowerment. Let's Drink a Better Story!

Hi there! I’ve been in specialty coffee for well over ten years now. In my current role as content creator for BonLife, I get to combine my training in art and design with my coffee experience. It’s great fun!
My favorite drink is drip or an 8 oz. Americano. But you better believe I try all the different flavored lattes and all the different coffees we roast.

-
Nick - Barista
One thing that I know about myself is that I am an adventurer and I am a very inquisitive person. I enjoy exploring new ideas, new places, and even myself. One of my passions in life is weight lifting. I think weight lifting tests my mental limits just as much as my physical limits. I also am interested in psychology and how our minds work and why we sometimes do things that maybe don’t make sense to us. One thing that I truly love though is the people that are part of my life. Whether they are close friends, family, or even strangers that make small talk with me.
