Price and availability set by the roaster.

Batch roasted weekly · ships in ~2d

Roasted on a scheduled weekly rhythm. Very fresh if you order right after a roast day; less so near the end of the cycle.

“We roast three days a week. Orders placed later in the week may be subject to a short delay due to low inventory and will be roasted the following Monday.” source ↗

Cherry's Index

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

71

Noted

Confident

Confidence43% coverage / 3 of 7 signals

Enough independent signal to score at face value; no shrinkage applied. 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 0% so a single thin signal can’t carry the score on its own.
