BonLife Coffee is an award-winning direct-trade roaster in Cleveland, Tennessee, founded in 2012. Erika Moore still runs the shop; the name means Good Life. They roast small-batch coffee at 1807 Keith Street and source directly from farms so producers earn a living wage. Golden Bean Overall Champion, Good Food Awards, and a US AeroPress title sit on the wall. Drink a Better Story is the line they roast by.
