Evidence-of-quality score, not a cup score. Methodology

74

Noted

Preliminary

Confidence33% coverage / 3 of 7 signals

Score is partially shrunk toward a neutral 50 — read directionally until more source families land. Coverage is signal availability, not cup quality; missing sources are dropped, the remaining weights are renormalized, and the result is shrunk toward a neutral 50 baseline by 18% so a single thin signal can’t carry the score on its own.

    A processing breakdown that reads like a technical engineering manual

    The roaster lists every stage of the processing method in a precise, chronological sequence. It reads like a technical manual rather than marketing fluff. By detailing the exact hours spent in oxidation and fermentation, they treat the producer's labor as a verifiable engineering feat.

    16-hour cherry oxidation, 38-hour anaerobic fermentation, 12-hour bean and mucilage oxidation, 24-hour fermentation with coffee mosto, thermal shock wash
