From the editors

This lot is no longer available at the roaster.

We last reached the roaster’s page for this coffee 16 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.

Cherrybook Index (CBI)

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

48

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 18% 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 55% so one thin signal cannot carry the score on its own.

The math on file: renormalized base 45.0 shrunk to 47.8 = 48.

    The beans I got on my recent SK trip: Hatou, Coffee temple, Fritz, Hytte, Greyhoney and Goof. Excited to try them out (I've tried most of them at the stores, but not all).

    …n general (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 (anthr
