Tiny Footprint Coffee - Fair Trade Organic Peru APU Medium Roast (3 lb) - Carbon Negative

A carbon-aware cup from a careful partnership

Tiny Footprint Coffee is widely regarded as the world’s first carbon negative coffee. This Peru APU medium roast comes from shade-grown, USDA Organic beans and is offered in a convenient 3 lb bag. Our rare collaboration between Roastery 7 and the Mindo Cloudforest Foundation blends artisanal roasting with forest conservation, inviting you to enjoy a cup with a story as rich as its flavor. For every pound sold, a portion supports reforestation in Ecuador’s Mindo Cloud Forest, and over time those trees are projected to remove a meaningful amount of CO2 from the atmosphere. The aim is to balance the footprint of production with nature-based offsets, while keeping your daily coffee ritual satisfying and grounded in responsibility.

From bean to brew: a mindful journey

Peru’s Cenfrocafe-origin beans are organic, fair-trade, and shade-grown, selected for depth of character without sacrificing clarity. Small-batch roasting ensures consistency and nuance, thanks to a vintage Probat drum roaster upgraded with efficient ribbon burners. The result is a versatile coffee that supports sustainable farming communities and encourages better stewardship of the land. You’ll notice a balanced sweetness paired with a bright citrus edge, finished with a clean aftertaste that lingers pleasantly in the cup.

• Organic, Fair Trade, and shade-grown Arabica beans.
• Flavor profile with soft caramel notes, citrus acidity, and a clean finish.
• Single-origin sourcing with ongoing grower education and infrastructure support.
• Small-batch roast processing for consistent quality and aroma.
• Carbon negative impact through targeted reforestation in the Mindo Cloud Forest.

In your kitchen: what to expect and how to brew

Whether you brew with a pour-over, drip brewer, or espresso setup, you’ll be greeted by a fragrant aroma of roasted nuts and citrus. The medium body delivers balance—sweet caramel throughout the mid-palate with a bright finish that helps any brew feel smooth and inviting. Grind fresh before each brew and tweak your grind size to suit your method, aiming for a clean extraction that highlights the cup’s natural sweetness. The sizable 3 lb bag keeps a steady supply for homes, offices, or small cafés while you explore sustainable coffee choices.
