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

Preliminary
Confidence33% coverage / 3 of 7 signals
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. Missing sources are dropped, remaining weights are renormalized, and the result is shrunk toward a neutral 50 baseline by 18% so one thin signal cannot 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”
