Tiny Footprint Coffee Review & Giveaway (2 Winners) - Ends 3/27 - CLOSED

The Company
Our organic 100% Arabica coffee beans are shade grown on small, rustic family-owned farms known for producing some of the finest organic coffee beans in the world. It’s here, in rugged, remote places like Ethiopia, Sumatra and El Salvador that our beans begin their long journey from vine to coffee mug. Once harvested, the green beans are roasted in small batches on a vintage, German-built “Probat” roaster retro-fitted with modern fuel efficient burners. The result is a rich, full-bodied cup of coffee that lifts the morning fog like blazing sunshine through lush cloudforest canopy.

Tiny Footprint has a selection of signature organic coffee blends, as well as seasonal single-origin organic fair-trade and rainforest alliance coffees from around the world.
When you drink Tiny Footprint Coffee, you’re making a big difference in the world, and especially in Ecuador’s Mindo Cloudforest. This is where we plant trees, as part of your contribution each time you buy a bag of Tiny Footprint. In addition to sucking massive amounts of carbon from the atmosphere, these trees serve an even bigger purpose by helping to reclaim a large tract of Cloudforest lost long ago to deforestation. This new section, known as the Mindo Cloudforest, will provide sanctuary to thousands of species of indigenous animals, including hundreds of species of birds for which Ecuador is known. Furthermore, managing the Cloudforest’s growth and redevelopment creates job opportunities in the surrounding communities, easing poverty and improving quality of life. It’s a win-win-win-win situation if ever there was one. All of it made possible by simply sitting down to enjoy a great cup of organic sustainable coffee from Tiny Footprint Coffee.



The Review
I received Tiny Footprint’s Medium Roast Blend and Java Taman Dadar coffee to review.

Medium Roast Blend
When I opened the package I instantly smelled the rich coffee aroma! This coffee is whole bean so I ground up a small batch and brewed a pot of coffee. This coffee was smooth and rich laced with chocolate and infused with caramel undertones. Made with Certified Organic 100% Shade-Grown Arabica Bean Coffee. It was very pleasing on the tongue with smooth rich flavor.

Java Taman Dadar
This coffee is a deep and bold bodied! With accents of molasses and maple-syrup then balanced by light notes of jasmine, melon and spice with a seductive, savory finish. A great bold coffee that does not have any of the bitter after tones that some other deep bodied coffees have. If you like a bold rich coffee, you will want to give this one a try!

Not only do they make great coffees they are also Environmentally Friendly!

The average American’s carbon footprint is a whopping 20 tons of CO2 per year. And everything you buy from cotton swabs to waffle irons makes your carbon footprint grow and grow. That’s why we came out with Tiny Footprint Coffee. When you buy Tiny Footprint, we’ll more than offset the carbon impact of harvesting, roasting, and distribution by planting a small plot of carbon guzzling saplings in the Ecuadorian Mindo Cloudforest. I love a company that is not only aware of their environmental impact but actually does something about it!
