Winter Coffee from Good Beans offers a slightly different take on a limited-edition winter blend—instead of heavy chocolate and spicy notes, it features a fresh, fruity profile. The flavor profile features juicy grapes and raspberries, creating a clean, lively, and pleasantly sweet profile with a subtle acidity. The light roast allows the fruity notes to shine through and preserves the coffee’s lighter character. So if you’re looking for a juicy winter coffee, this limited-edition Thai blend offers a pleasantly unconventional twist.
The coffee comes from Khun Lao Village in Thailand, where it is grown by Jaroon Jaipin. His farm is located in Chiang Rai Province at an elevation of approximately 1 ,100 meters above sea level and is nestled among old tea trees, ferns, and bamboo. It is precisely the story of this farm that inspired the entire Good Beans winter special—a line designed to show that high-quality specialty coffee doesn’t have to be unnecessarily complicated or intended only for a narrow circle of coffee enthusiasts. The beans come directly from Thailand and are then roasted in Amsterdam.
The coffee underwent a processing method known as “anaerobic red honey.” In the honey process, after the husk is removed, a portion of the sweet pulp layer—known as mucilage—is left on the bean, and the coffee is then dried with this layer intact. The term “red honey” refers to a higher amount of mucilage left on the bean compared to lighter variants of the honey process. The anaerobic part of the processing refers to a fermentation phase with limited oxygen exposure. This combination can enhance the sweetness, fruitiness, and more pronounced aromas of fresh grapes and raspberries.
