From the editors

This lot is no longer available at the roaster.

We last reached the roaster’s page for this coffee 64 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

61

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 75.0 shrunk to 61.3 = 61.

    I know there an incredibly popular brand that this roaster may evoke (La Cabra), but LA BARBA deserves some respect on their (very similar) name. I saw a lot of these Hacienda La Papaya Typica Mejorado floating around different roasters. I’ve only tried these, and they were delicious (Sadly gone now. Didn’t freeze any…
