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!
You can read even more about us over on our blog.

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.

Bentley is a theology student at Lee University here in Cleveland, TN. Ever since he moved to Cleveland, BonLife has been his go-to coffee spot. Applying to work here was the natural next step.
"I love coffee and I love people, working in coffee allows me to make great coffee and interact with great people. My favorite part of being a barista is the connections I get to make with people in our city and also making coffee that people love!"
