Onda Origins

We’re a Seattle-based, family-owned coffee roastery and cafe that’s building a new way of doing business: We source directly from our growers, and we share revenue with them from every sale.

How it works:

Revenue Share. On top of initial, higher-than-standard purchase prices, we share an additional $1 per pound with growers once the coffee is roasted and shelved. With this model, our farm partners earn up to twice as much income — and since we stagger payouts based on coffee sales, they can count on additional revenue beyond once-yearly green coffee purchases.

Our Mission. From seed to sale, we are actively working toward equity and quality in a fraught industry. We believe the goals of high-quality specialty coffee and thriving communities are inseparable, and require investment at every level of labor — from grower to cafe worker.
