Cherry's Index
Evidence-of-quality score, not a cup score. Methodology

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.

About Nektar Coffee Roasters
Community reputation · Reddit
Well-regarded· sentiment 70/100
Nektar Coffee Roasters is recognized within the Canadian specialty coffee community as a reputable roaster based in Quebec. They are frequently included in community-sourced lists of recommended Canadian roasters. Note: One thread mentions a company called "Blak Nektar" in the context of espresso machine sales, which appears to be a separate entity and not the coffee roaster Nektar.
