History
Carolina Coffee Roasting Company was formed in 1992 to preserve the fine tradition of small batch coffee roasting. We began as a coffee shop, serving freshly roasted Arabica coffees. Steady growth through mail orders and the wholesale business has taken our coffees up and down the East Coast, as well as across the Blue Ridge mountains. Floyd Pettit, Jr., our esteemed roastmaster, devoted his career to coffees and coffee blends before he joined us. Though Floyd has since retired, our roasters continue to study under Floyd, learning the nuances of fine-roasted coffee. In the past few years, we have expanded significantly, and can now be found in several Lowes Food and Whole Foods locations and of course several cafes, coffeehouses and restaurants.
Specialties
Carolina Coffee Roasting Company (CCRC) specializes in the wholesale and retail distribution of coffee, coffee equipment, and cafe supplies. We have been roasting only the highest quality Arabica coffee since 1992, making us one of the oldest specialty coffee roasters in North Carolina. Despite being primarily wholesale coffee roasters, we do have a storefront, which we invite you to visit! You might catch us roasting, and at the very least we'll make you a fresh coffee using the beans of your choice! This is also the best place to pick up your favorite restaurant blend or single-origin coffee.
