This Peruvian washed coffee from Marilú López Padilla in Amazonas is grown at about 1700 meters above sea level. It combines Typica, Caturra, Catimor, and Bourbon varieties and is processed using a washed method. Flavor notes include cantaloupe and almond, reflecting its origin in the Alto Mayo region within Peru.
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.
