More About Granos Hermanos

<h3>Roasting process and collaboration in The Hague</h3>
<div class="wp-block-group has-global-padding is-content-justification-left is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-constrained"><p>Granos Hermanos does not roast the coffee itself. The company works with Ief &amp; Ido Roasters in The Hague for this purpose. That roastery lists a Giesen W15 as its production machine. According to Ief &amp; Ido, this machine can process approximately 15 kilos of green coffee per batch. A batch takes about twelve minutes, as stated by the company. The theoretical production is around 60 kilos per hour or 480 kilos per day. It has not been established whether every batch for Granos Hermanos is roasted on this machine. Furthermore, no roast curves, development software, or other technical roasting data have been published.</p></div>

<h3>Assortment and subscription options</h3>
<div class="wp-block-group has-global-padding is-content-justification-left is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-constrained"><p>The assortment consists of four fixed coffees. Two products come from Colombia: Chill Jaguar as a light roast and Smooth Jaguar as a medium roast. The Peruvian line consists of Chill Kolibrie as a light roast and Smooth Kolibrie as a medium roast. The webshop thus shows two countries of origin and no blend of beans from multiple countries. The coffees are available in packages of 250 grams, 500 grams, and 1 kilo. There are choices between whole beans, filter grind, and espresso grind.</p></div>

<div class="wp-block-group has-global-padding is-content-justification-left is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-constrained"><p>In addition to individual purchases, the company offers various subscriptions. The Wanderer Plan contains 250 grams, the Caffeine Machete Plan 500 grams, and the Coffee Tribe Plan 1 kilo. The Fauna Rotation Plan is available in multiple formats. The available delivery frequencies are weekly, every two weeks, every three weeks, or monthly. The company terms state that subscriptions are shipped within seven days of roasting. One-time orders are sent within ten days of roasting, according to the same terms.</p></div>

<h3>Origin and coffee chain</h3>
<div class="wp-block-group has-global-padding is-content-justification-left is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-constrained"><p>The documented countries of origin at launch are Peru and Colombia. Granos Hermanos states that it works with farmers from both countries and aims to build long-term relationships. Trabocca and Premium Estates Coffee are named as suppliers in the chain. According to the company, these parties support traceability, communication, and responsibility in the chain. Public data on purchase volumes, prices paid to farmers, or specific contracts are missing. No specific farms, estates, or cooperatives are named either.</p></div>

<h3>Sustainability Claims and Available Data</h3>
<div class="wp-block-group has-global-padding is-content-justification-left is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-constrained"><p>The company&#8217;s own communications highlight traceability, transparency, environmental care, and long-term producer relationships as core principles. The published brand pillars are Commitment, Transparency, and Improvement. However, there is no public information regarding certifications such as organic, Fairtrade, Rainforest Alliance, or B Corp. Additionally, there are no calculated CO2 footprints, emission targets, or independently audited impact reports. Information on coffee waste, recycling, and post-use packaging processing is also not published.</p></div>

<h3>Sales and Distribution</h3>
<div class="wp-block-group has-global-padding is-content-justification-left is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-constrained"><p>Sales are conducted primarily through the company&#8217;s own webshop. Orders are processed in the Netherlands and shipped domestically via PostNL. For other destinations within the European Union and Switzerland, the company lists PostNL, DPD, DHL, and GLS. According to their policy, shipping to the United Kingdom is not available. There is no public record of permanent retail points in supermarkets, specialty stores, or wholesale channels.</p></div>

<h3>Tastings and Physical Locations</h3>
<div class="wp-block-group has-global-padding is-content-justification-left is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-constrained"><p>There is no documented record of a dedicated café, shop, or permanent tasting room. The website does refer to the café of roasting partner Ief &amp; Ido, but does not list it as a Granos Hermanos location. Tastings at Little Peru in Fenix Rotterdam have been announced as temporary events. For 2026, tastings have been reported for June 13 and July 11. A cupping of a future Peruvian coffee was also announced during MICE week.</p></div>

<h3>Team and Public Visibility</h3>
<div class="wp-block-group has-global-padding is-content-justification-left is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-constrained"><p>The names and roles of the full team are only partially public. The website mentions four founders from Lima without providing their full names. On Instagram, one founder is identified as Gonzalo. Company.info lists G. Barclay Paz as a director of RBC Global B.V. starting in 2025. Available data does not confirm that both references point to the same individual. No dedicated head roaster is named, as the roasting process is handled by Ief &amp; Ido. There is no public documentation of awards, jury recognitions, or consistent editorial coverage in international coffee publications.</p></div>
