Sporting and Parisi announced a multifaceted partnership in January for Parisi to serve as the official coffee and cold brew of Sporting Kansas City as well as the preferred specialty foods provider for City Foods, the club's in-house catering service.
Sporting Calcio 2020 Blend's artistic packaging and the Tifosi Series pays homage to Parisi's Italian heritage while also aligning with Sporting Kansas City's rich supporter culture. Calcio is the Italian word for soccer while Tifosi is the Italian expression for fans.
Parisi opened its first roasting facility in 2006 before opening its first café at historic Union Station in downtown Kansas City. Parisi products are available at its café, select Kansas City restaurants, grocery stores and at ParisiCoffee.com.
Throughout the month of May, Parisi is celebrating local health care workers, first responders and other essential individuals on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic by giving away weekly care packages with freshly roasted coffee beans and pastries.
