Kicking Horse Grizzly Claw Dark Roast Whole Bean Coffee, 10 oz (Pack of 6) — Organic, Fairtrade

Kicking Horse Grizzly Claw is a dark‑roasted, whole‑bean coffee delivering bold chocolate and nutty flavors in a 10‑ounce pack, sold here as a set of six and certified organic, Fairtrade and Kosher.

Bold, dense and built for lovers of heavy roasts, Grizzly Claw comes from Central and South American Arabica beans roasted in the Rocky Mountains. The roast profile emphasizes dark chocolate and roasted hazelnut character with hints of brown sugar and cacao nibs — a versatile whole‑bean option suitable for French press, pour‑over, drip and cold brew. Kicking Horse emphasizes sustainability and social responsibility: these beans are shade‑grown and carry organic, Fairtrade, and Kosher certifications so you get traceable sourcing alongside a robust cup.

What does Grizzly Claw taste like and which brewing methods suit it best?

Expect a heavy, chocolate‑forward cup with roasted nut undertones and a subtle brown‑sugar sweetness. The roast accentuates a decadent, full body while keeping acidity low, making it an easy choice for stronger brew styles.

• Flavor highlights: dark chocolate, cacao nibs, roasted hazelnuts, brown sugar.
• Best methods: French press for full body, cold brew for smoothness.
• Also excellent: drip machine and pour‑over with a slightly coarser grind to tame bitterness.

How are these beans sourced and certified?

Kicking Horse sources Arabica coffee from Central and South America using practices intended to support long‑term farm sustainability. The product carries multiple third‑party certifications that document its farming and trade standards.

• Organic certification denotes farming practices focused on soil health and reduced chemical inputs.
• Fairtrade certification signals payment structures aimed at benefiting farming communities.
• Kosher certification confirms compliance with Kosher production requirements.

How should I store and grind the 10 oz whole beans for best freshness?

Whole beans stay fresher longer than preground coffee; grind just before brewing to preserve aroma and flavor. Store the unopened bag in a cool, dark place and transfer to an airtight container after opening to limit exposure to air and moisture.

• Storage: keep in a sealed container at room temperature, away from heat and sunlight.
• Grinding: coarse for French press, medium for drip, fine for espresso when suitable.
• Dosage: start with 1–2 tablespoons per 6 ounces of water and adjust to taste.

Is this coffee a good value as a six‑pack?

Buying a six‑pack of 10‑ounce bags provides multiple fresh bags for regular drinkers and reduces frequent repurchasing. It’s practical for households that consume several cups a day or for small offices where a dark roast adds consistency across shifts.

• Pack size: six 10‑ounce whole‑bean bags keep rotation frequent for freshness.
• Use case: ideal for daily dark‑roast drinkers or shared spaces with moderate consumption.
• Packaging note: packaging may vary by batch but product weight and certifications remain.

Who is this for? Grizzly Claw is aimed at drinkers who favor intense, chocolate‑forward dark roasts and want beans with verified sustainability credentials. Choose this if you prefer whole beans you can grind fresh, appreciate a heavy, low‑acid profile, and value organic and Fairtrade sourcing in your everyday cup.
