Kicking Horse coffee is certified organic and certified fair-trade and it's roasted in Invermere, BC. The company uses sustainable
business practices such as recyclable packaging, recycling and energy
efficiency in their factory. Kicking Horse supports local community initiatives
such as the Invermere Anti-Idling campaign, local food banks, the
Nature Conservancy of Canada as well as projects farther afield, such as
the Coffee Kids program, which aims to help coffee-farming families
improve their quality of life.
Kicking Horse Coffee has 21 different kinds of coffee in their product
line, so there's got to be one for every taste! We were sent 3 sample
bags to try: Kick Ass (dark roast), Three Sisters (medium roast) and
decaf (dark roast). Wow! Richard was thrilled when the package arrived,
and I must say I was very tantalized by the smell as well! Before we get
on to how the coffee tastes though, I must say I was very impressed by
Kicking Horse's philosophy.
There's something sort of decadent about sitting by yourself, with a hot
drink and some reading material, for some uninterrupted “mom time.” I
guess that's because it's so rare, especially when there are 2 little
people around, and lots of jobs to get done. The only time that Mom gets
quiet time in this house is when the youngest is napping and the oldest
one is at nursery school, or after they've both gone to bed at night,
and then there's always the temptation (or desperate need) to get other
stuff done. I'm sure you Moms out there can relate! :) I do know I feel
more “recharged” if I have a bit of rest time, so I've been trying to
sit down, even for a little while.
