Notes of Cantaloupe and Almond Certified Organic

Marilú from Peru is a very special woman! We started purchasing coffee from her in 2019 after a visit there by our roaster. Marilú is a mother, farmer (more than just coffee) and community leader within her larger coffee cooperative community (COOPBAM - we use their coffees in several blends). Her land and farm is certified organic and sits within the Alto Mayo protected forest in northern Peru. We are privileged and honored to have her coffee for a another season and confident you’ll love the fruits of her labor.

Dogwood Coffee

Context

This washed coffee from Peru's Amazonas region comes from producer Marilú Lopez Padilla, grown at 1700 meters altitude. The washed process emphasizes clarity and brightness—characteristics that come through in Dogwood Coffee's tasting notes of cantaloupe and almond. The combination of stone fruit sweetness with nutty undertones suggests a balanced cup with both juicy acidity and body. Coffees from Peru's high-altitude regions often display this kind of dimensional sweetness, where floral or fruity notes sit alongside deeper, earthier elements.
