Tiny Footprint Coffee Nicaragua Segovia Dark Roast Whole Bean 3 lb — USDA Organic, Fair Trade, Carbon-Negative

Tiny Footprint Coffee’s Nicaragua Segovia Dark Roast is a USDA Organic, Fair Trade whole-bean coffee crafted for bold chocolate and spice notes while supporting carbon-negative reforestation.

Roasted in small batches in Minneapolis, this single-origin Nicaraguan bean blends strong dark-roast character with underlying fruity Nicaraguan heritage. The product pairs artisan roasting technique with verified sustainability practices: organic and fair-trade sourcing, shade-grown cultivation, and proceeds dedicated to reforesting Ecuador’s Mindo Cloud Forest to remove more CO2 than the supply chain emits.

What flavor can I expect from this dark roast?

This roast emphasizes deep, roasted chocolate and warm spice tones while retaining traditional Nicaraguan notes of apricot and fig. It’s a full-bodied profile that works well brewed as espresso or a bold drip coffee.

• Primary tasting: sultry chocolate and roasted cocoa
• Secondary notes: apricot, fig, and a touch of baking spice
• Body: full and bold with a lingering finish
• Best brewed: espresso, French press, or strong drip

How does the brand make this coffee carbon negative?

Tiny Footprint combines measured lifecycle accounting with direct reforestation funding. For every pound sold they contribute to planting native trees in Ecuador; those trees are projected to sequester substantially more CO2 than the coffee’s production and distribution emit.

• Lifecycle: emissions assessed across production and transport
• Reforestation: funds plant native species in the Mindo Cloud Forest
• Net effect: more atmospheric CO2 removed than emitted
• Community impact: restoration supports wildlife, soils, and local jobs

What certifications and sourcing standards does this coffee meet?

The beans are USDA Organic and Fair Trade certified, sourced from cooperative producers who follow shade-grown practices. Tiny Footprint prioritizes smallholder relationships and buys from certified farms and select family operations to balance quality and sustainability.

• USDA Organic: no synthetic inputs
• Fair Trade: cooperative premiums help local programs
• Shade-grown: supports biodiversity and soil health
• Single-origin: Nicaragua Segovia provenance for consistent character

How is the coffee roasted and packaged?

Each lot is small-batch roasted on a vintage Probat drum roaster upgraded with fuel-efficient burners to improve roasting consistency and reduce energy use. Beans are packed in compostable bags designed to minimize waste and protect freshness.

• Small-batch roast for controlled flavor development
• Modern efficiency upgrades on classic roasting equipment
• Compostable packaging to lower environmental footprint
• Whole-bean format preserves aroma until grinding
