Tiny Footprint Coffee - Fair Trade Organic Peru APU Medium Roast – 16 oz Whole Bean, Carbon Negative

Tiny Footprint Coffee Peru APU Medium Roast — Carbon Negative, Organic, and Fair Trade

Tiny Footprint Coffee blends vibrant flavor with a purpose-driven approach. This Peru APU medium roast features shade-grown, USDA Organic and Fair Trade beans sourced from the region’s small farms. Roasted in a dedicated Minneapolis facility, the process emphasizes quality and sustainability at every stage, from farm to cup.

Beyond the aroma and taste, this coffee tells a larger story of environmental stewardship. The partnership with Roastery 7 and the Mindo Cloudforest Foundation channels support into reforestation efforts that protect biodiversity and help rebuild ecosystems. The program is designed so that, over time, the trees planted through the project can contribute to lowering atmospheric CO2 levels while also creating habitat for wildlife and stabilizing local watersheds.

In practice, the operation aims to minimize waste and energy use. Packaging is biodegradable, the roasting setup prioritizes efficiency, and the shop environment emphasizes responsible practices. The result is a cup that pairs everyday enjoyment with a thoughtful, planet-friendly approach.
