Kicking Horse Coffee -- Product Review and Giveaway

Closed.  And, the winner is:  JMyers666



ALL our coffees are 100% Certified Organic, Fair Trade, Shade Grown, Arabica beans roasted in Canada.

I was recently sent of sample Kiss Ass coffee from Kicking Horse Coffee to sample and write up a review on.  

Here is some information from the Kicking Horse Coffee website about this coffee selection:



Product Description: 

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
You might also like: 454 Horse Power & Hoodoo Jo
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. Expect to use your coffee beans within a 1 week to 2 week period.
My Thoughts:

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to sample this coffee myself, as I had to give up coffee while pregnant with our second daughter, so I enlisted my husband as a taste tester.  He couldn't refuse, as he loves a good, strong cup of coffee in the AM to help wake him up and get him ready for his commute to work.  I was happy when I received the can of Kick Ass coffee and noticed that it was whole bean, as my husband and I love to grind our own coffee.  It gives the coffee a fresher taste when you know you have just ground coffee beans for a fresh cup of coffee in the AM.  So, for the past week, my husband has been drinking this coffee, and can't stop raving about the smooth and bold taste of the coffee.  Usually, he prefers other brands like Starbucks and Pete's Coffee, but he says he has found a new favorite brand, Kicking Horse Coffee.  The Kick Ass coffee holds true to its name in its bold flavor, body and aroma.  I was dying smelling the coffee as it dripped from the coffee maker.  Oh, how I wish I could try just a sip.  But, in a few short weeks, I will definitely be having a cup of Kiss Ass coffee, as well as ordering some of their other coffee products, including 454 Horse Power (another dark coffee) and Three Sisters (Medium).  And, I know what I will be getting my husband this holiday season -- Kicking Horse Coffee!!

Just look at the variety of coffees Kicking Horse Coffee has to offer a true coffee lover:



Now, don't tell me you can't a flavor from above that makes your mouth water.  In addition to coffee, Kicking Horse Coffee also offers teas, chocolate and accessories -- all would make a great gift for that special someone this holiday season!
