GREEN MOUNTAIN COFFEE ROASTERS PARTNERS WITH PBS TO LAUNCH PBS® BLEND, A FAIR TRADE CERTIFIED™ ORGANIC COFFEE

December 6, 2006 - Green Mountain Coffee Roasters and PBS introduce PBS Blend, a new Fair Trade Certified organic coffee.Available at www.greenmountaincoffee.com/pbs, PBS Blend is offered in whole bean in 10-oz.packages and single-serve K-Cups for use in Keurig Single-Cup brewers. PBS Blend supports public television's independent and award-winning programming and educational services.

Sweetly balanced and smooth, with full flavor and a rich finish, PBS Blend is grown in the lush, tropical rain forests surrounding the El Triunfo Biosphere in Mexico. PBS Blend carries the Fair Trade Certified label, which guarantees farmers a fair price for their coffee harvest and enables them to reinvest in their communities. In addition, PBS Blend is environmentally-friendly. A certified organic coffee, its beans were grown using agricultural practices that preserve biodiversity and vital habitats for migratory birds and other wildlife.

"We are pleased to be working with Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, which shares PBS's commitment to social responsibility and community education," said Andrea Downing, Vice President, Home Entertainment and Partnerships.
