Tiny Footprint Coffee - Organic Cold Brew & Press Elixir | 16 oz | Carbon Negative & Shade-Grown

About Tiny Footprint Coffee

Tiny Footprint Coffee is designed for coffee lovers who value flavor, sustainability, and transparency. This Cold Brew Elixir blends light and dark roasts, featuring Ethiopian beans for a bright, nuanced cup with a cocoa-like body. The partnership with Roastery 7 and the Mindo Cloudforest Foundation supports a carbon-negative approach where the impact per pound released to market is offset by reforestation in Ecuador’s cloud forest.

On the environmental side, the program estimates that it takes 4 pounds of CO2 to produce and distribute one pound of coffee, with proceeds supporting native tree planting that, over time, can remove a substantial amount of CO2 from the atmosphere. The reforestation work also helps restore habitats for local birds, reinforces soil conservation, and contributes to healthier water tables. Local landowners benefit from job opportunities tied to care and redevelopment of the cloud forest, creating a tangible link between a daily ritual and conservation.

Sourcing, Roasting, and Craft

We prioritize shade-grown, organic Arabica beans sourced from small, family-owned farms, with many beans carrying USDA Organic and Fair Trade or Rainforest Alliance certifications. The roasting process happens in Minneapolis, using a vintage 90-kilo Probat drum roaster retrofitted with energy-efficient ribbon burners. This setup aims for consistency and quality while supporting a broader carbon-negative effort, including biodegradable coffee bags and waste reduction initiatives at the roastery.

The Cold Brew Elixir is crafted as a balanced blend—light and dark roasts harmonized with a selection of Ethiopian coffees—to deliver a silky, sweet profile with hints of bright fruit, delicate florals, and a Cocoa-like finish. It’s the kind of coffee that feels approachable as a daily ritual or a refreshing cold-brew treat on warmer days.

Brewing guidance is simple and scalable. Each pound yields about 1.35 gallons of ready-to-drink cold brew when prepared with a 1:6 coffee-to-water ratio and a 1:1 dilution. This means you can tailor strength and volume to your taste, whether you’re fueling a busy morning or sharing a bottle with friends.
