A couple local coffee roasters have special blends available, which would make excellent stocking stuffers:

Carrboro Coffee Roasters has developed a special PTA Thrift Shop Coffee Blend to help with the Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools PTA Thrift Shop's community building campaign.

A half-pound bag costs $10 with 100 percent of profits going towards the project. Those can be purchased at Caffé Driade in Chapel Hill, Open Eye Café in Carrboro and PTA Thrift Store locations. For more information about the campaign, go to ptathriftshop.org.

Then Counter Culture Coffee in Durham has its annual Holiday Blend available for sale at local coffee shops, such as The Morning Times in downtown Raleigh, and online. A 12-ounce bag costs $16.50. To order online, go HERE.
