44
Preliminary
Confidence2 of 7 signals on file
Score is partially shrunk toward a neutral 50; read directionally until more source families land.
How confidence affects the score
Coverage measures signal availability, not cup quality. This coffee has 30% 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 25% so one thin signal cannot carry the score on its own.
The math on file: renormalized base 42.5 shrunk to 44.4 = 44.

Inside this video
From Araku Coffee:
“The fact that this coffee is made by tribal farmers was unknown to me. As Marie regaled me with their stories, she also treated me to a refreshing cup of this socially conscious coffee.”
“The whole coffee changed their life over the last 15 years, so it's amazing.”
