Kicking HorseCoffee, Decaf, Swiss Water Process, Dark Roast, Whole Bean, 10 Oz - Certified Organic, Fairtrade, Kosher Coffee

When I was younger, being HIGHLY caffeinated was 'de rigueur' to get through the work day, but the coffee served at most places where I worked in was dismal at best. 🤢 So I began concocting morning coffees for the commute to the office, and as I learned more and more about the amazing world of coffee, I also started mixing my own bean blends for home use. Of course, nowadays, tracking down good ORGANIC coffee is always top of mind, too.Fast forward several years, and now that I'm older, I've discovered that a good 50/50 blend of both regular coffee with caffeine - as well as that without - seems to work much better for me now. I like my sleep. 😉 This is where having a great DECAF coffee is so important.I've tried several different varieties of decaf coffees, but seem to always go back to Kicking Horse. It's a dark roasted brew - my favorite roast - but it also has all the other things I like in a coffee: whole bean/Swiss water process, organic, fair trade, even Kosher. It's a surprisingly very smooth and rich brew. Who knew decaf could be this good on its own? This makes my afternoon (or post-dinner) 'cuppa' that much better!Overall, while I may still 'taste test' other brands, Kicking Horse is one of the best decafs out there, IMHO!

This Decaf is SO mild - - no bitterness at all due to the Swiss Water Process. I blend 1 part Kick Ass to 4 parts decaf for even more robust flavor. Goooooood Stuff!!

This review is mine and my husbands, separately. First mine. I absolutely did not like the coffee! I felt it left a bitter taste and I couldn't even finish my cup. However, since I'm not really a coffee drinker I'm probably not the best judge of coffee. My husband wanted coffee the other night and needed decaf, which I had but warned him of the bitter taste. His review is much different than mine. He actually liked it! He said it was very smooth and did NOT leave a bitter after taste. I dont know if this makes a difference or not, but i used a Keurig for mine and he used a french press for his. If anyone reads reviews like I do before purchasing, I'd go with his as he's been drinking coffee for a long time and honestly, I just started several years ago.

This is my new go to coffee. I love that it is organic, fair trade, and Swiss water process. That way I know I’m getting a coffee that is good for me, the Earth, and other people. Not just that, but the coffee also tastes great.

With all my reviews I give the good, the bad, and a fair summary. The tragedy of this AMAZING decaf coffee lies in things OUTSIDE the product itself, so read below carefully:The GOOD: This is the best decaf coffee I've ever tasted. Consistently smooth when cold-brewed or heated alike. Free of fungus (or that stuff that looks like fungus), and they utilize a "Swiss Water Method" of extracting the caffeine, which is free of the traditional way which uses chemicals or whatever. I have consistently suggested this brand of coffee to others, who then laugh at me for bothering to drink decaf coffee in the first place. I'm almost certain their other coffees are just as good. Bravo. Slow morning clap.The BAD: Because the product is out of Canada, when buying shipping off their website, they'll charge you $17 to ship alone. Get out of here, buddy. The prices on the website are a little lower, but if you notice, the difference is reflected on Amazon, so regardless you're paying for the coffee + international shipping, regardless how they package it.From what I understand, they supply it to COSTCO and Whole Foods, so try your luck finding it there to see if the prices are better. That international shipping is killer, boys.As a plus, KHC will give you a free shipping option for your FIRST purchase, but require the $17 each new time. I'm over here wondering how I can get around that.Regardless, the product itself is a treasure to the taste buds. I just can't get over the price of international shipping. In the future, I'll explore Whole Foods as an option, but until then, I'll make my current supply last as much as I can I guess. Thank you.

Bold flavor , pretty good taste, but lacking a lingering aftertaste. I also don't like when companies don't specify exactly what country the beans are from. Maybe you might like it if you don't need a lingering aftertaste.

Excellent decaffeinated coffee. Upon opening the bag I was rewarded with that lovely coffee aroma. Inside the bag were dark, oily, rich-looking beans shining at me. The first sip was bold with a distinct cinnamon note. I have been a huge fan of Peet’s Major Dickinsons Blend but I now have another go-to in my pantry. (Especially in the evening hours.)

I grind these and use in my DeLonghi espresso machine, and they work just great (make sure to grind them for the appropriate length of time, for me, 13 seconds is the "magic" number).The aroma and taste are great and I like this is decaffeinated with the swiss water process, which is not as dangerous as the Hag process.
