Woody coffees

Beans with woody notes — 44 specialty coffees that lean woody. Discover the roasters and origins behind the taste.

44 beans

A dry, aromatic earthiness drawn from the forest — cedar, oak and resinous pine running quietly beneath the fruit and sweetness.

Woody coffees carry a dry, structural aroma: fragrant cedar, the rounded warmth of oak, and the green resin of pine. In small doses this lends backbone and a savoury, grown-up complexity; in excess it can read as aged or tired. Woody notes often surface in older crops, certain naturals, and lower-grown lots. Tasters who enjoy darker, less fruit-forward coffee appreciate woody tones as a grounding, aromatic counterweight.

Flavor composition: moderate spiced (cinnamon); subtle earthy (oak); subtle bright (white wine); subtle fruity (blueberry).
