Strong
Preliminary
Confidence2 of 7 signals on file
Score is partially shrunk toward a neutral 50; read directionally until more source families land.
How confidence affects the score
Coverage measures signal availability, not cup quality. This coffee has 28% 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 30% so one thin signal cannot carry the score on its own.
The math on file: renormalized base 86.1 shrunk to 75.3 + bonuses = 77.

...e imo super high quality greens price delta doesn’t consistently show up in my cup but I’m happy to pay to try from time to time. Conversely some roasters due to process or just strategy use lower cost greens (still great) and make tasty coffee. S&W and friedhats come to mind here. I consider these great value roast
