December 2025: Winter Bean

Country: Brazil
Method: Natural
Altitude: 950 – 1155m
Tasting Notes: Milk Chocolate, Roasted Hazelnuts

As per our Roaster’s Choice tradition, we have selected one of our festive coffees for December! This year, we’re delighted to share our Winter Bean; our limited edition seasonal blend with deep roots and classic Brazilian charm at its heart. The coffee itself comes from our friends at Fazenda da Lagoa – a historic estate from the Sul de Minas highlands that has been quietly perfecting its craft for generations.

Set among the rolling hills of Minas Gerais, only a few hundred kilometres from São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, Fazenda da Lagoa sits at around 1,100 metres above sea level. The altitude here brings cooler nights and a gentle, steady ripening season – conditions that help build sweetness and a naturally smooth structure in the cup. The farm’s rich soils and balanced climate make it an ideal home for cherished Arabica varieties such as Yellow Bourbon, Mundo Nova, Catuaí, and Topázio, each contributing to the estate’s signature harmony.

Established in 1764, Fazenda da Lagoa is one of the oldest coffee farms in the region, with a near-unchanged footprint and a legacy passed from one generation to the next. That long continuity shows in the careful, patient way the coffee is produced. Cherries are harvested at peak ripeness and processed primarily as naturals and high-quality semi-washed lots, then sun-dried slowly to lock in sweetness, body, and the rounded character the estate is known and loved for.

In the cup you’ll find an effortlessly balanced profile: smooth and silky with low, mellow acidity. Expect comforting notes of milk chocolate, layered with roasted hazelnut and very subtle dried fruit notes. The finish lingers long and pleasantly, leaving a gentle, chocolate-like warmth.

Winter Bean is a blend made for versatility and cosy ritual. As filter it’s calm, sweet, and quietly complex; as espresso it turns richer and more velvety, with that classic chocolate-and-nut depth taking the lead. Whether you’re after a dependable seasonal daily cup or something mellow and luxurious to slow down with, Winter Bean is here to warm the weeks ahead – and we can’t wait for you to try it.

    This is an excellent opportunity to try new coffee’s. I get a 500g bag every month on top of my regular go to varieties. Have been buying now for nearly a year and have yet to find one that is not too my taste. The packaging put together with fresh quality beans only adds to the feeling of superiority you get from the iron&fire experience. Great product and service, what more could you ask for?……..

  2. Michael Northwood

    Also new to the world of DIY cup of coffee but love the experience. Not very good with describing the flavours of coffees but really like this one from El Salvador. Unlike me, it’s rich, smooth and complex

  3. Sharon Jones

    We are relatively new in our coffee journey having only recently bought a coffee machine 😀
    We love receiving a different type of coffee each fortnight & reading the information of where it comes from. Great opportunity to try different coffee’s and have loved all of them.

  4. Monica Milne

    I usually buy the Brazilian Samba specialist coffee but ordered this one for a change and thought it had an excellent flavour. I will definitely try the roasters choice again.

  5. John Morgan

    I have been a monthly subscriber now for some time. I always choose Roaster’s Choice and I have always enjoyed the coffee I receive. I think the Roaster’s Choice is very convenient, at a very good price and for somebody like me, a non-expert, it is the perfect choice.

  6. Amy Boucher

    I love the variety of the roasters choice coffee. Always high quality and allows you to taste a wide range of flavours

  7. Ian Morgan-Williams

    I’ve only recently discovered Iron and Fire coffees and have just opened the second of my fortnightly Roaster’s Choice subscriptions. Wow!

    This is akin to drinking the most complex wines I could only dream of affording. In fact, the cup I finished about 10 minutes ago is still lingering, developing, changing as I type.

    I’ve just placed a nice big Christmas-present order for the family…

    PERU TAPIR ANDINO: I have just received my first order of I&F coffee, including the roaster’s choice selection, Peru Tapir Andino. I have been impressed by I&F’s customer service and attention to detail. I also like the fact that they offer good value.

    It has prompted me to improve my coffee making and consequently I am paying greater attention to how I make the coffee and the results I get. I’ve just made an aeropress of Peru Tapir and for the first time I am finding that black coffee actually does taste of some of the things the roaster identified, and this is sweet and fruity, with a hint of berry. I have two other selections to try but already I feel as if I have arrived at what is for me an entirely new level of coffee enjoyment.

  9. Stephen Hepburn

    I enjoy the fact I never know which coffee I will receive. Every month the coffee comes with an information sheet and brewing guide. The coffee always tastes great and its good to try something a bit different from the usual coffee’s I order.

  10. Dick France

    I receive a packet each month with my subscription and it is always a very nice surprise. Obviously, the taste varies depending on the roaster’s choice but I have always appreciated the quality, and effort that clearly goes into making it. It gives me a smile each month. Great stuff.
