006: Steve Chang: Copa Vida
from Coffee Man Show Hosted by Ed Barnett
Copa Vida in Pasadena opened August 1st 2013. Steve Chang, founder and visionary of Copa Vida in Pasadena, grew up in a family of small business owners. After selling a significant noodle manufacturing business he had a chance to step back and think about his dreams. Retiring with a coffee shop had been a point of discussion with his wife over the years. They decided to go for it and began traveling to learn and experience coffee shops in Venice, Rome, Seattle and Portland along with coffee farms in Costa Rica. Up and coming for Copa Vida is their own line of small batch roasted coffee. This facility is five minutes from the Pasadena cafe and is currently roasting the True Bean brand which they own and will continue to deliver alongside the Copa Vida brand. Plans are in the works to open a second Copa Vida in San Diego by Petco Park.
