Hermanos Coffee Roasters, established in 2018 by Colombian brothers Victor and Santiago Gamboa along with Adnan Millwala, is carving out a niche in the UK's specialty coffee scene by focusing exclusively on high-quality Colombian coffee. With nine outlets in London, they not only serve a variety of distinctive flavors but also support smallholder farmers in Colombia by investing in long-term relationships and ensuring stable incomes. The company buys entire crops, such as the Maria Torres coffee, and has recently upgraded its roasting facilities to accommodate growth. While retail remains their primary sales channel, Hermanos is experiencing a surge in e-commerce and wholesale. They are planning to expand their UK presence and are considering international opportunities, with an emphasis on maintaining their Colombian roots and direct connections with farmers.
