“Coffee is such a natural extension of who I am. It fuels me. One of the first things I do every single day is wake up, drink coffee and go check the surf. ”
No matter what passion you pursue in life or what path you choose for your day-to-day, there are certain things that keep you anchored to reality. These constants are essential; they keep us focused and sane. We’ve all made the mistake of shooting off a hangry txt before getting our taco fix or hitting the morning surf without giving our board a good rub down with some necessary sex wax or worst of all, clearing our inboxes before guzzling a cup (or four) or our morning nectar, our nuclear wake up, our morning coffee.
Marea Coffee recently launched their brand this week at the Belly Up, full of good music, incredible giveaways, donations to an amazing cause, great people, and endless energy (could have been all the coffee we were drinking). Marea coffee is a breath of fresh air in what seems to be a wave of watered down and increasingly expensive artisan blends. Marea coffee was created from the idea that everyone should be able to enjoy fresh and affordable café quality coffee no matter where life brings you. They hand roast every bean in small batches and deliver it to your door in less than 2 weeks, because it makes a difference.
Marea’s attention to detail in their coffee and their community is what sets them apart. At their launch, they auctioned off weekends away at Mammoth, golf outings, cupping tastings, and much more, to help a charity - 02 for Life. Oh, we should also mention, their company consists of a tight knit group of professional surfers, skateboarders, photographers and all around eco-friendly entrepreneurs. Just like honing their individual crafts, they realize that “good coffee takes time”. Each of their blends is not only hand picked, but also rigorously taste tested by professional tasters and by all of their friends.
“We are an open, welcoming, but also a tightly knit group. We all bring different things to the table as all of us have such unique styles and perspectives. This makes it cool when testing the coffee and starting a company. It’s like, taste this, and check this logo out, and what do you think about these beans vs those. It’s just so fun.”
So no matter where you enjoy your morning coffee, make sure you're drinking Marea. Local, small batch coffee, specially made for whatever life brings you that day!
