The world's first carbon negative coffee, Tiny Footprint Coffee, is the result of a unique collaboration between Roastery 7, an artisan coffee roastery, and the Mindo Cloudforest Foundation, a nonprofit conservation organization. Together, they have created the ultimate combination of good karma.
The secret to Tiny Footprint Coffee's carbon-negative status lies in the fact that it takes 4 lbs. of CO2 to produce and distribute 1 lb. of their coffee. However, for every pound sold, the company donates a portion of the proceeds to fund reforestation efforts in Ecuador's Mindo cloud forest. Over time, these trees will remove 54 lbs. of CO2 from the atmosphere, effectively removing more CO2 than is emitted during the coffee's production and distribution.
Tiny Footprint Coffee's reforestation efforts in the Northwestern Andes of Ecuador focus on planting native tree species in heavily deforested areas. These trees not only sequester massive amounts of carbon from the air, but also provide habitat to hundreds of local bird species, reinforce soil conservation techniques, and rebuild water tables. The Mindo Cloudforest Foundation works directly with local landowners to provide jobs related to the care and redevelopment of the cloud forest.
At Tiny Footprint Coffee, sourcing the finest, sustainably-grown Arabica coffee beans from around the world is a labor of love. The beans are not only shade-grown, but also organic certified, and most often fair-trade or Rain Forest Alliance certified. The company also purchases coffee from small, family-owned farms that are not fair-trade eligible, yet grow some of the most beautiful, best-tasting coffees on the planet.
The roasting and training processes are carried out at the company's roastery in Minneapolis, MN, where they are working hard to make the entire roastery carbon negative. This includes using fully bio-degradable coffee bags, high-efficiency lighting, fuel-efficient ribbon burners on their roaster, composting coffee grounds, and reducing waste around the shop.
Tiny Footprint Coffee's USDA Certified Organic, Fair Trade, and Shade-Grown Arabica coffee offers a soft caramel-like mouth feel, balanced by elegant citrus acidity and a sweet, clean finish. The company's investment in Cenfrocafe's grower education and processing infrastructure (made possible by the fair trade price premium they pay) has resulted in year-after-year improvements in quality and consistency.
Tiny Footprint Coffee is truly the world's first carbon negative coffee. By donating a portion of the proceeds from each pound sold to fund reforestation in Ecuador's Mindo Cloud Forest, the company is not only producing delicious, sustainable coffee, but also actively removing CO2 from the atmosphere and providing habitat for hundreds of native plant and animal species.
