Cherrybook Index (CBI)

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

53

Sparse signal

Confidence1 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 5% 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 88% so one thin signal cannot carry the score on its own.

The math on file: renormalized base 75.0 shrunk to 53.1 = 53.

One thread author describes Coffee Libre as internationally known and among the earliest in Korea, but finds their coffees overdeveloped for a light roast preference. Another commenter mentions having enjoyed coffees from Coffee Libre in Korea previously, while distinguishing them from a US roaster named Libre. A third commenter mentions having tried a washed decaf Gesha roasted by Coffee Libre in Korea.

    …ral (a good issue - and if medium or dark is your thing then you can for sure find many examples). The internationally known ones like Fritz, Coffee Libre and Anthracite are ok - they are over developed for my taste. They were some of the earliest in Korea so I guess that’s where the reputation comes from (anthracite

    …pecialty roasters! Natural pink bourbon from Wbeimar Lasso and Juliana Guevara’s Finca La Terraza, roasted by Libre (USA). This roaster shouldn’t be confused with Coffee Libre in Korea (who I have also enjoyed coffees from before). The roaster’s advertised notes seem to me pretty spot on - a dessert cocktail that’s bo

    …Pablo Andres Guerrero of Hacienda El Obraje in Colombia, roasted by Luminous (USA). This is my second decaf Gesha (the other was also washed, but roasted by Coffee Libre in Korea). While Gesha is my favourite coffee variety, I’m not sure if the nuances survive the decaffeination process well. I wasn’t able to get the…
