Our People
Coffee brings people together, but it is just the beginning. We establish meaningful relationships, from producer to cup, to work together for a better future.
The People Behind Every Bag
We collectively work together as a community to create more meaningful connections between our partners and guests. Every bag of Parea Coffee Lab represents the people who grow, roast, package, support, and share it.
This is how we bring our mission to life: building meaningful relationships through thoughtfully crafted coffee, from farm to cup.
Farmer and Producers
Relationships are at the heart of our business. They begin with like-minded farmers and producers who grow high-quality coffee sustainably and continue through every cup, creating deeper connections.
Their stories are coming soon.
Guests
We call our customers guests because hospitality is part of who we are. Every guest is part of the Parea experience, from the first bag they try to the conversations they share over coffee.
NCC Enactus Team
Made up of students from a variety of academic disciplines, the NCC Enactus Team shares a common thread: wanting to create change for a better tomorrow.
Students gain and develop entrepreneurial experience through a hands-on learning environment that supports packaging and roasting for Parea Coffee Lab.
