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 58.0 shrunk to 54.6 + bonuses = 58.

I received an Ethiopian Yirgacheffe from Anodyne Coffee 3 or 4 days after roast (This was mid January). For the first week or so it was extremely tea-like and floral. It was more tea-like than I really wanted, and I tried different brew methods and ratios to get more body out of it. I used a v60, Clever Dripper, and Ae
