Roasts to order
Your bag is roasted after you order; expect a short delay before it ships, but it arrives as fresh as the roaster can make it.
“We roast to order in small batches at our roastery located at 115 Jordan Street, San Rafael, CA, 94901.” source ↗
Cherry's Index
Evidence-of-quality score, not a cup score. Methodology
65
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.

Brew a set side-by-side. Cherry varies the picks along axes that pair with this lot; origin, process, roast, or producer; so you learn the difference, not just drink four good cups.
