This decaf coffee comes from many small landholders in Huila, Colombia. The variety is Caturra. The coffee is fully washed and then decaffeinated naturally in Colombia using fermented sugar cane in a process called De Caña. The flavor profile features churro and caramel notes, producing a sweet and well-rounded cup.
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.
