Kicking Horse Coffee

Kicking Horse Coffee is a Canadian specialty coffee roaster founded over 25 years ago in the Canadian Rocky Mountains. Born out of a garage in a remote corner of British Columbia, the company has grown into one of Canada's most recognized premium coffee brands, earning recognition as one of the Best Places to Work in Canada while maintaining the independent spirit and quality standards that defined its origins.

The company specializes in roasting 100% organic, Fairtrade-certified Arabica coffee beans sourced primarily from Central and South American origins, as well as other premier growing regions worldwide. Every blend in their lineup carries both organic certification and Fairtrade certification, reflecting a deep commitment to responsible sourcing and ethical trade relationships with farmers and trade partners.

Kicking Horse Coffee offers a diverse portfolio of roasts and blends available in multiple formats including whole bean and ground coffee, catering to a wide range of consumer preferences and brewing methods. Their product range spans light, medium, and dark roast profiles, with tasting notes ranging from roasted hazelnuts and chocolaty body to complex fruit-forward and earthy profiles. The lineup also includes a Swiss Water Process decaffeinated option, ensuring even their decaf offering meets the same high-quality and organic standards as their caffeinated blends.

The company supports a variety of popular brewing methods including French Press, Drip, Pour Over, and Espresso, making their products versatile for both home brewers and specialty café environments. Products are sold direct-to-consumer through their e-commerce platform with subscription options that offer ongoing savings, as well as through retail distribution channels across North America.

All beans are sourced and roasted with a no-compromise philosophy — summarized by their brand ethos of being 'Organic, Fairtrade, No BS.' Their roasting facility, though much larger than the original garage, remains based in the Canadian Rockies, keeping the brand's identity deeply tied to its mountain heritage. The company continues to grow its team while preserving the bold, adventurous culture that has made Kicking Horse Coffee a distinctive name in the premium and specialty coffee segment.
