Kick Ass Dark Roast
Kicking Horse provides high-quality Organic and Fairtrade beans at a very competitive price point. However, as a dark roast blend, it lacks the specific transparency of the 'Gold Standard'—missing data on SCA scores, specific MASL, and roast dates (relying on 'Best By' dates instead)—and dark roasting naturally reduces the chlorogenic acid (antioxidant) density compared to light-medium roasts.
