Has anyone heard anything about this? Just wondering if this is a problem elsewhere and what the industry is doing to solve the issue. I suppose it knocks out the possibility of organic pesticide free.

OMG!!!!
This is EXACTLY what I experienced when getting a cup of Veranda (blonde roast) blend of *$s in California. I was on the run, but just chalked it up to poor brewing (had to get it as a pourover). Slightly musty cardboard is one description, but "old potato" is even closer. I had to throw it out after a half a cup.
Didn't even know this was a possibility. If that's the case, then *$s better be careful.
I wonder if darker roasting might mitigate some of this defect, and if it potentially exists in coffees from places other than Rwanda.
