Noted
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 77.3 shrunk to 65.7 = 66.

Unpacking from a 17 day trip, drinking coffee from Tokyo to Fukuoka. GLITCH, Coffee County and Leaves lived up to the hype and finding smaller places in-between was very satisfying as well. Many of the baristas were happy to talk shop and I was humbled by the generosity of many of the shop owners when I mentioned I mad

…p6 was giving me for these coffees. However I still use my zp6 95% of the time.

I’m talking about single origin say Kenya, say a SL28/SL34/Batian/Ruiru 11, in a natural process.…
