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 68.0 shrunk to 58.1 + bonuses = 60.

Three Reddit comments give a mixed-to-positive view of La Cabra. One regular said the coffees were generally wonderful, though some naturals were intense, and reported good results at home.

I have gone to that La Cabra every week since it opened. The coffees have generally been wonderful, although sometimes the naturals are pretty intense. Their coffee development process involves resting the coffee for a long time, much longer than most roasters. I have used their beans at home with good results. If you’

I’m brewing the Santa Rosa right now. Pretty coffee. Fairly subtle like many La Cabra washed but very fresh and tasty. I get a really nice body and sweetness from a high extraction V60 recipe.

Maybe we can make a linked thread with all the days and coffees? I tried the La Cabra and was disappointed. It was flat and grassy. You made a good decision to wait.

What the reviewer said
From Ride the Coffee Bean, discussing Hacienda La Papaya Anaerobic Bourbon:
“They run it as a washed extended fermentation, which is basically just how they process coffee in Kenya. So you pick it, you rest it in an open tank, so no closed tanks.”
