Price and availability set by the roaster.
Batch roasted weekly · ships in ~2d
Roasted on a scheduled weekly rhythm. Very fresh if you order right after a roast day; less so near the end of the cycle.
“We roast online orders Monday to Thursday. Orders placed by 12pm will be roasted the following roast day and shipped by the next day.” source ↗
Cherry's Index
Evidence-of-quality score, not a cup score. Methodology
48
Sparse signal
Confidence5% coverage / 1 of 7 signals
Score is heavily shrunk toward 50; treat as a placeholder until more sources arrive. 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 88% so a single thin signal can’t carry the score on its own.
