This coffee is from Finca Juan Martin in the Cauca region of Colombia, operated by Banexport. The farm is research-driven, focusing on varietal-specific cultivation and processing with quality control at every stage. This is a washed Pink Bourbon variety grown at 2050 meters altitude. The cup is sweet and well-rounded with notes of black cherry and fudge, featuring a full body and bright, sparkling sweetness.
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.
