Tiny Footprint Coffee Peru Medium Roast Ground Coffee 16 oz — USDA Organic, Carbon Negative, Fair Trade

Tiny Footprint Coffee Peru Medium Roast is a USDA organic, fair-trade ground coffee that is produced and sold to be carbon negative while delivering a balanced caramel and citrus flavor.

This single-origin Peru medium roast is crafted from shade-grown Arabica beans, small-batch roasted in Minneapolis, and packaged as a 16-ounce ground coffee offering. The brand pairs artisan roasting with a conservation partnership that funds reforestation in Ecuador’s Mindo Cloud Forest so each bag aims to remove more CO2 from the atmosphere than is emitted during production and distribution. Expect a smooth, lightly sweet cup with bright acidity and a clean finish—suitable for daily brewing methods.

How does this coffee achieve carbon negative status?

Tiny Footprint Coffee offsets more carbon than is emitted by donating a portion of proceeds to reforestation projects. Trees planted through the Mindo Cloudforest Foundation sequester substantial CO2 over time, resulting in a net negative carbon footprint for each pound sold.

• Reforestation funding for native tree planting in Ecuador’s Mindo Cloud Forest.
• Each pound sold supports trees that sequester an estimated 54 lbs of CO2 over time.
• Roastery practices reduce waste with composting, efficient burners, and biodegradable bags.

What will I taste in a cup of Tiny Footprint Peru medium roast?

The flavor profile is designed for approachability and clarity: a soft caramel mouthfeel contrasts with lively citrus acidity and finishes sweet and clean. The medium roast preserves origin character while smoothing harsher notes for all-day sipping.

• Primary tasting notes: caramel sweetness and elegant citrus brightness.
• Balanced body—medium weight with a clean, lingering finish.
• Roast level: medium, suitable for drip, pour-over, and French press.

Is this coffee sustainably and ethically sourced?

Yes. The beans are USDA Certified Organic, shade-grown, and supported by fair-trade investments that improve farmer education and processing infrastructure. Tiny Footprint also purchases from small family farms when quality demands it, even if those farms aren’t fair-trade certified.

• USDA Organic and Shade-Grown Arabica beans for environmental stewardship.
• Fair Trade premiums used to support growers’ education and facilities.
• Small-batch sourcing from family farms for consistent quality.

How is the coffee roasted and prepared before it reaches my cup?

Roasting takes place in Minneapolis on a vintage Probat drum roaster upgraded with modern, fuel-efficient burners, and each batch is monitored to ensure consistent results. Grounds are placed in biodegradable packaging and the roastery emphasizes waste reduction and composting efforts.

• Small-batch craft roasting for even development and flavor clarity.
• Energy-efficient roaster upgrades and shop-wide sustainability practices.
• Packaged in fully biodegradable bags to reduce landfill waste.

Who is this for: This coffee suits everyday drinkers who want a reliably pleasant medium roast with transparent sustainability efforts. It’s ideal for buyers seeking USDA organic and fair-trade credentials, eco-conscious consumers who value carbon-negative initiatives, and coffee lovers who prefer small-batch craft roasting and single-origin flavor clarity.
