From the editors

This lot is no longer available at the roaster.

We last reached the roaster’s page for this coffee 8 days ago. It now returns a not-found or members-only response, so we’ve archived the buy link rather than send anyone to a dead page. The notes, sensory chart, and editorial context below remain useful as a record of what this lot offered.

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 55.4 shrunk to 53.1 = 53.

Another commenter mentions having enjoyed coffees from Coffee Libre in Korea previously, while distinguishing them from a US roaster named Libre.

    …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…
