Tiny Footprint Coffee: The World's First Carbon Negative Coffee

Through a unique collaboration between Roastery 7, an artisan coffee roastery, and the Mindo Cloudforest Foundation, a nonprofit conservation organization, Tiny Footprint Coffee has become the world's first carbon negative coffee. This partnership has created the ultimate combination of good karma.

The carbon-negative nature of Tiny Footprint Coffee is achieved through a simple yet effective process. It takes 4 lbs. of CO2 to produce and distribute 1 lb. of their coffee. However, for every pound that's sold, the company donates a portion of the proceeds to fund reforestation 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 efforts in the Northwestern Andes of Ecuador focus on planting 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.

At Tiny Footprint Coffee, the team 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. 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. All of the roasting and training are done from the company's roastery in Minneapolis, MN, where they are working hard to make the entire roastery carbon negative.

Tiny Footprint Coffee's USDA Certified Organic, Fair Trade, and Shade-Grown Arabica coffee boasts a flavor profile that is perfect for sipping all day. The soft caramel-like mouth feel is balanced by elegant citrus acidity and a sweet, clean finish. The company's Fair Trade and Single Origin coffee, sourced from Cenfrocafe, has seen year-after-year improvements in quality and consistency due to the fair trade price premium and the grower's investments in education and processing infrastructure.

Tiny Footprint Coffee is craft-roasted in a vintage 90 kilo German-built Probat drum roaster that has been retrofitted with modern fuel-efficient ribbon burners, ensuring perfectly roasted coffee every time. As the world's first carbon negative coffee, Tiny Footprint Coffee is making a significant impact on the environment while delivering a exceptional coffee experience.
