This coffee is a single-origin offering from the Las Lajas microlot, specifically from Finca El Cerro in the Central Valley region of Costa Rica. Grown at an altitude of 1400-1600 meters, this Sarchimor variety coffee is processed using the Black Honey method. The flavor profile features bright notes of candied fruit, complemented by creamy nougat and almond undertones. It is a well-rounded cup suitable for various brewing methods.
Dan Anderson and Greg Hoyt founded Dogwood Coffee Company in 2010 in Minneapolis, with Anderson making the leap from commercial real estate and Hoyt bringing commodity coffee industry experience. The roastery operates from Tyler Street NE, where production is visible behind a glass wall, and the company runs retail cafes in Northeast Minneapolis, East Lake Street, and St. Paul. A Canadian expansion launched in 2016 with a roasting facility in Winnipeg's Exchange District, housed in a renovated 1921 warehouse. Food & Wine named Dogwood the best coffee roastery in Minnesota. The guiding principle is "Coffee for Others," with an emphasis on giving value to everyone along the supply chain from growers to customers.
