Cult coffee roastery Dark Arts has seen a 1,000 per cent growth in sales during the pandemic and launched its own YouTube channel.
When he started out in 2014, Brad Morrison was the sole employee, ploughing his passions for good coffee, the occult, 70’s hippy culture and biking into the Homerton-based brand.
A year later, Morrison met Jamie Strachan, who became head of coffee, importing ethical beans from all over the world, which are roasted in-house - making just enough for two months supply to ensure it s always fresh.
