Sparse signal
Confidence2 of 7 signals on file
Score is heavily shrunk toward 50; treat as a placeholder until more sources arrive.
How confidence affects the score
Coverage measures signal availability, not cup quality. This coffee has 23% of the signal universe on file. Missing sources are dropped, remaining weights are renormalized, and the result is shrunk toward a neutral 50 baseline by 43% so one thin signal cannot carry the score on its own.
The math on file: renormalized base 53.3 shrunk to 51.9 = 52.

One thread author reports finding a great decaf on the 19grams website, describing it as a light to medium roast with complex, pleasant fruit notes and an orange peel-like aftertaste. Another thread author describes the 19grams advent calendar coffees as boring, noting that they tasted like chocolate, grass, and fermentation, lacked variation, and were easy to overextract with a bitter aftertaste.

…you a complex, pleasant cup with noticeable (not too pointy) fruity notes and a very nice lingering aftertaste (is it orange peel?). You can purchase it on the 19grams website, although it seems a bit hidden in there for some reason. But they also have their own webshop. So happy to finally have found a decaf that doe
