Meet 454 Horse Power: Kicking Horse’s Signature Dark Roast

Velvety, earthy, and undeniably spirited, this dark roast from Kicking Horse captures the essence of a night ride. Roasted at altitude in the Canadian Rockies, it delivers a bold, smooth character with depth you can sense in every cup. The beans come from 100% Arabica sources and are produced with a commitment to sustainable practices, ensuring a responsible journey from green bean to your mug.
