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 23% 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 43% so one thin signal cannot carry the score on its own.
The math on file: renormalized base 79.9 shrunk to 67.2 + bonuses = 68.

Two independent Reddit comments give Heart Roasters favorable evidence. One repeat buyer called the Layo Teraga wonderful after having it twice that year. Another Oregon commenter included Heart among a group of solid local roasters.

...is. We're always trading beans, recommending new subscriptions or roasters, or purchasing bags from local shops. I live in Oregon so we have a bunch of solid roasters... Olympia, Heart, Roseline, Push x Pull, Upper Left, etc. I enjoy having him around very much, so I'll have to take a pass on that offer, sorry broth
