Tiny Footprint Coffee Nicaragua Segovia, Dark Roast, Organic Coffee

Tiny Footprint Coffee, the world's first carbon negative coffee, is the result of a unique collaboration between Roastery 7, an artisan coffee roastery, and the Mindo Cloudforest Foundation, a non-profit conservation organization. Together, they have created the ultimate combination of good karma.

But how is Tiny Footprint Coffee carbon negative? It's simple - 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, resulting in more CO2 being removed than emitted.

Tiny Footprint Coffee's reforestation initiatives in the Northwestern Andes of Ecuador help to plant native tree species throughout the Mindo Cloud Forest region 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.

Making great coffee takes time, effort and passion, and the team at Tiny Footprint Coffee pours endless hours into sourcing the finest, sustainably-grown Arabica coffee beans from around the world. These beans are not only shade-grown, but also organic certified, and most often fair-trade or Rain Forest Alliance certified. They also purchase 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 is done 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 products are USDA Certified Organic, Fair Trade, and Shade-Grown Arabica Coffee. The flavor profile is a sultry, bold dark roast with notes of chocolate, complemented by the traditional Nicaraguan flavors of bright apricot, fig, and spice. The coffee is small-batch craft roasted in their vintage 90 kilo German-built Probat drum roaster, retrofitted with modern fuel-efficient ribbon burners, ensuring perfectly roasted coffee every time.

Overall, Tiny Footprint Coffee's commitment to sustainability, ethical sourcing, and environmental conservation sets it apart as the world's first carbon negative coffee.
