Velvety Earthy Spirited Canada Organic Roasted in Canada Fairtrade Calgary Kosher Certified by Ecocert SA The Legend In the summer of 1858, James Hector set out to discover the Kicking Horse Valley. His expedition took him through some of the most beautiful and rugged country in the West. During a river crossing, one of the pack horses kicked Hector so hard that others in the expedition mistook him for dead. As they began to bury poor old James, they noticed his eye twitch. The legend says that it was the stiff cup of Kick Ass Coffee that brought him back to life!
