This coffee is sourced from the Suke Quto farm in the Odo Shakisso region of the Guji Zone, Ethiopia, at an altitude of 1700-1900 meters. Produced by Ato Tesfaye Bekele and local smallholders, this coffee consists of Kurume and Wolicho varieties. It is processed using the natural method. The flavor profile features distinct notes of red currant and sangria.
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.
