Kicking Horse Coffee
Why Kicking Horse Coffee?
Kicking Horse brews with attitude! This small company was formed in the Kicking Horse Pass in Invermere B.C., Canada, high up in the Canadian Rockies, by two daring entrepreneurs from Montreal - Leo and Elana. They have a passion for coffee that you can smell and taste when you talk to them. They roast blends of organic and Fair Trade coffee, and also sell organic and Fair Trade tea, and organic chocolate. Plus, with coffee names like:
- Organic 454 Horse Power
- Organic Cliff Hanger Espresso
- Organic Grizzly Claw
- Organic Bugaboo, and
- (my very favourite) Organic Kick Ass...
how can you not want to buy coffee from Kicking Horse Coffee?
My story:
I never drank coffee until I had my first job out in Vancouver in the early 90's. Then I tried Starbucks. Pretty much literally, there was one on every corner and you couldn't avoid it. I started with the light stuff - steamed milk. Then one day... a mocha. Then onto Lattes. The rest is history.
Now I have my own stainless steel capuccino machine sitting on my kitchen counter. I grind fresh beans almost every couple of days. I have tried a number of different brands of beans. The ones I like best are the ones with the most attitude. Those are the beans from Kicking Horse Coffee. I really like both the 454 Horse Power and Kick Ass. Kick Ass is fun if for no other reason than it is fun just to use material along the lines of "you are what you eat... so today I'm going out to Kick Ass!" I just wish they made some good plastic travel mugs that I could take to work.
