David is an avid Coffee Drinker and can not survive with out his cup of coffee or should I say 6 cups of coffee. My mother is the same way.
So I am always on the lock out for new coffee companies that they can try the coffees out from. So when I found Kicking Horse Coffee I knew it would be a fun site for David to try there coffees from as not only did the coffee fit him the name does too. I can hear David saying the site cool and it would be something I could see David sharing with his friends at work.
So I contacted them and not only are they allowing me to try out there coffee but I will have one to giveaway to one of my lucky readers.
So let me tell you about the coffee I was sent it was:
Kick Ass [Dark]
SWEET • SMOKY • AUDACIOUS
The name says it all: carpe diem, play to win, no regrets. Don't let this cute little donkey fool you-he plays for keeps. This take-no-prisoners roast is popular with athletes who'd rather enjoy a good cup of coffee than choke down an energy bar before a workout. A great mix of Indonesian and Central American beans that is guaranteed to kick some sense into you.
Tasting Notes: Intense, full-bodied, dark-roasted attitude

Note: Cans are offered as 'whole bean' only.
It is important to store your coffee properly to keep it fresh. Keep at room temperature, sealed in an air-tight container. Avoid plastic containers as your coffee's flavor may be compromised. Once opened, expect to use your coffee beans within a 1 week to 2 week period.
This flavor of coffee from Kicking Horse Coffee is one of Davids favorites. He says that the flavor is bold and that it is strong but not to strong. Which is something he prefers in his coffee. In fact he likes Truckers Coffee or coffee that you stick a spoon into and it stands up. That is not me as I hate it when it is so strong. But I did enjoy this one as David made a pot while my mom was in town and we all tried it.
I asked my mom what she thought of it and she says she would not mind buying it for herself and also as gifts for her friends. She also thinks my dad would enjoy it as well.
I know that it is something I would purchase to add to the stockings I am putting together as all my friends drink coffee and I think it taste better than other brands I have tried. I even asked David if he would like to have it again and he said yes. I even had him and my mom ask me to show them the website as they wanted to see what other brands of Kicking Horse Coffee was available. So I can tell you that this is a new brand of coffee that we will be serving in the future. As as we all enjoyed it so much.
I like knowing that they carry different flavors of the coffees such as Decafe as this is normally what my mom would drink. Plus they have Espresso and all of my girlfriends would enjoy that as it is what they prefer to drink.
Here is the package I would purchase for my "Girlfriends". It is the Trio of Coffee and it would allow us to Wake up to Kicking Horse Coffee on our holidays.
A trio of coffees;
454 Horse Power
Kick Ass
Three Sisters
Certified Organic, Certified Fair Trade, Certified Delicious!
3 x 1 lb (454g) Retail Bag of Coffee
I think David should purchase this for his bosses. The reason is it would give them a chance to try some of the different flavors from Kicking Horse Coffee and they would be able to chose there favorite so they could go and buy there own once they run out.
One of the things I liked knowing is that the coffee can also be sold in bulk as it would allow me to make up several Gift Baskets to give out to the people on my Gift List.
I also like knowing that as we could have a coffee tasting party and each person could take a little of the different varieties home with them.
Everyone who knows me knows that I prefer tea over Coffee and when I saw that Kicking Horse Coffee also sold different flavors of tea I was in Heaven. Early Grey is my favorite and so I wanted to share with you some of the things they say about there's.
Earl Grey - Organic
Our organic Earl Grey Tea honours the legendary blend of fine black tea and bergamot oil that was presented to Earl Grey the second, Britain's prime minister in 1830. Smokey, golden pale in colour, and with a hint of sweetness, this popular tea is sure to appease your afternoons.
Enjoy 18-20 cups per tin depending taste preference.
Ingredients: Luxury organic black tea, Organic osmanthus petals, Organic natural flavours
Preparation: Bring freshly drawn cold water to a rolling boil. Place 1 teaspoon of tea for each cup into the teapot. Pour the boiling water into the teapot. Cover and let steep for 3-7 minutes according to taste. Even though milk and a dash of sugar help enhance the flavor character of this tea, it is perfectly acceptable to consume this tea plain. Only I do use milk and sugar in mine if it is hot as it is the way I was brought up. David laughs at me and thinks it is gross. Oh well he should try it. So know with Kicking Horse Coffee I can still have my Tea. This made my day as I drink tea 24/7 non stop and I am at a loss when I run out.
My sister is the same way I am and so I can even shop with Kicking Horse Coffee for her Christmas Presents.
On Kicking Horse Coffee I found several new brands that I can not wait to try out. So I hope Santa reads this and will bring me some of them. As I would like to have new and different teas to try out next year with my friends and family.
Kicking Horse Coffee even has some wonderful chocolate and this would make a nice gift for Charlie. As he has finally started to drink Hot Chocolate. I also think my sister would enjoy it as well as she is like me and loves it. My daughter Suzzane did as well.
So as you see with just this one site I can shop for so many people and never even leave home.
As they even carry all types of accessories that would would make my shopping even easier.
As I found a Percelator for my dad. As well as a cap for David.
So I can tell you that I will be doing a lot of shopping with Kicking Horse Coffee and I hope you check them out at
