When it comes to your morning coffee, it's easy to keep going back to something familiar and reliable, because there's a certain comfort to knowing what to expect. There's something invigorating and exciting, though, about stepping outside your comfort zone. And frankly, what better time to invigorate yourself than in the morning, with a fresh blend of super-fresh coffee beans from some of the most passionate farmers in the world? 

Onda Origins is a direct-to-consumer coffee company that prides itself on not only elevating smaller sustainable coffee farms around the world, but also by returning a significant amount of revenue from every bag of beans it sells directly to the farmers themselves. In fact, for every Onda Origins coffee purchase made—whether through its wonderful bean subscription program or a la carte—it gives back to the farmers a bonus that's twelve times higher than a typical Fair Trade bonus. And while helping promote higher wages and sustainability is certainly reason enough to give Onda Origins' roster of coffees a try, you ought to know a bit more about its diverse selection. Here are some of its most delicious beans you could easily introduce to your daily routine, as well as a bit about the farmers behind each one.

This Caturra/Typica bean variety comes from Enrique Navarro's family farm in an area southeast of Costa Rica's capital, San José. Navarro's family's farm has earned a number of accolades in the last decade (their coffee is both a Cup of Excellence Champion and a World Barista Champion), and these single-origin beans boast tasting notes of both plum and chocolate.
