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 80.0 shrunk to 53.8 = 54.

Cherrybook summary of the video
This interview with the founder of Elm Coffee Roasters highlights their sourcing philosophy, which prioritizes transparency and price-to-quality ratios in specific origins. The discussion also touches on the technical challenges of light roasting and the importance of maintaining consistent quality in a competitive market.
Inside this video
From Seattle Coffee Gear:
“We've narrowed our focus to basically Colombia, Guatemala, Kenya, Ethiopia, Honduras. And simply because if there's a little more transparency in some of those places, the price to quality ratio is a lot higher than elsewhere.”
“Light roasting coffee well is very hard. The window is extremely small. If it's too light, it's sour and vegetal.”
