Woody

The taste of expired coffee. Woody coffee has a smell of dry wood or cardboard. This defect results when beans are improperly stored for an extended period of time. Coffees stored in high temperatures and humidity, such as port cities, tend to deteriorate the bean quickly and it becomes woody. All coffees can become woody if stored long enough.

Woody? That’s funny. I’ll never look at coffee the same again.
@Joel – It is amazing how many different tones and tastes you can find in a single cup – the flavours even change depending on brewing method!
