S4 E10: The Big Baba Java Papa Himself, Dr. Nathan E Parvin

from CoffeeU · host CoffeeU

Josh Parvin turns the tables and interviews his dad, Baba Java co-founder and “Big Papa” himself, Dr. Nathan Parvin, in this special father-son episode! Nathan shares his journey from eye doctor and professor to starting Baba Java Coffee, including the early feasibility study, roasting in the basement at Ridge Pass, the wild build-out stories (and the infamous “cease and desist”), and how a small idea turned into a growing family business with deep community roots. He talks about his lifelong love of coffee, the influence of Brad and the Parvin family, what it’s like running both a medical practice and a coffee company, and why excellence and relationships remain at the heart of everything they do. Full of laughs, heartfelt stories, and behind-the-scenes insight from one of the people who started it all.----------------------------------------------------------------------Visit our blog: https://babajavacoffee.com/blog/ Find your new favorite coffee with our quiz: https://babajavacoffee.com/coffee-quiz/
