Cherrybook Index (CBI)

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

Sparse signal

Confidence2 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 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 74.7 shrunk to 64.2 = 64.

Two independent Reddit comments provide favorable but very limited evidence for Hydrangea Coffee. One buyer included Hydrangea in a three-roaster Ethiopian comparison and described the coffees collectively as great, while preferring JBC. Another commenter named Hydrangea as an enduring favorite.

I ordered Ethiopian's this month from heart hydrangea and JBC and JBC might be the best of the three. I regularly order great Ethiopian coffees from top roosters and I was pleasantly surprised by JBC. It doesn't get as much buzz on here but when I did a little research they have good roots and great reputation. Some ha
