The Legend: In 1858, James Hector discovered the Kicking Horse Valley: some of the West’s most beautiful and rugged country. While crossing a river, a pack horse kicked Hector so hard his partners thought he died. As they began to bury him, Hector’s eye suddenly twitched. Legend has it that a stiff cup of Kick Ass Coffee helped bring him back to life!

Strong, bold, rich coffee is my favorite and Kicking Horse Kick Ass Coffee is just perfect! This is a powerful blend of dark roasted Indonesian and Central American coffee beans. The flavor is intense and is a wonderful eye opener in the morning or any other time of day that I need a good coffee burst.
As soon as I opened up the package, I knew it was going to be fabulous! The aroma is amazing and the beans are obviously fresh. They are dark and oily, not at all dried out. Yum!!!
Kicking Horse Coffee also has other roasts and blends available, but Kick Ass was so good that I think I’d just want to drink this again and again.
Their tin packaging is great! The entire package is recyclable – they don’t even use a paper label. But… I’m not planning on putting it in the recycling bin anytime soon. The tin looks good and with it’s resealable lid, I can easily reuse it at home.
