Tiny Footprint Coffee Signature Blend - Light Roast, Organic, Fair Trade, Shade Grown, Carbon Negative - 3 Pounds

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 non-profit conservation organization, the two have teamed up to create the ultimate combination of good karma - Tiny Footprint Coffee, the world's first carbon negative coffee.

The process behind Tiny Footprint Coffee's carbon-negative footprint is simple. It takes 4 lbs. of CO2 to produce and distribute 1 lb. of their coffee. However, for every pound that's sold, a portion of the proceeds is donated 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 a net reduction of carbon emissions.

Tiny Footprint Coffee's reforestation efforts along 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.

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 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 entire roasting and training process takes place at the company's roastery in Minneapolis, MN, where they are working hard to make the entire operation carbon negative. From fully bio-degradable coffee bags and high-efficiency lighting to fuel-efficient ribbon burners on their roaster and composting coffee grounds, Tiny Footprint Coffee is committed to reducing their environmental impact at every step.

CARBON NEGATIVE: The world's first carbon negative coffee - For every pound that's sold, a portion of the proceeds is donated to fund reforestation in Ecuador's Mindo cloud forest. Over time, these trees will remove 54 lbs. of CO2 from the atmosphere as well as provide habitat for native plant and animal species.
