Batch roasted weekly
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 collect orders throughout the week, up until Saturday at 3PM (PST) and roast them on the weekend. The orders are then shipped out on the following Monday” source ↗
Cherry's Index
Evidence-of-quality score, not a cup score. Methodology
64
Sparse signal
Confidence23% coverage / 2 of 7 signals
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. 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.
