Deep, damp and earthy — forest floor, supple leather and mushroom giving the cup a brooding, wild and deeply savoury complexity.
Musty coffees evoke the forest after rain: damp earth and leaf litter, supple leather, and the umami savouriness of mushroom. This earthy depth is associated with certain naturals, aged lots and traditional Indonesian processing, where humidity and slow drying build low, organic flavour. It's a polarising character — drinkers who love wild, savoury, full-bodied coffee seek out musty tones for their grounding, almost meaty complexity.
