peatiest

Richest in moss-soil

Peatiest is the superlative of peaty, meaning having the most peat-like qualities.

Peat is partially decomposed plant matter found in bogs, and the adjective typically describes whisky with strong smoky, earthy flavors from peat-dried malt: the peatiest Scotch I've ever tasted.

It can also describe soil rich in organic matter.
