Cherrybook Index (CBI)
Evidence-of-quality score, not a cup score. Methodology
61
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 20% 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 50% so one thin signal cannot carry the score on its own.
The math on file: renormalized base 78.3 shrunk to 64.1 + bonuses = 61.

How ratings count toward the Index
To count toward Cherrybook Index, an aggregate must come from a supported source, match this product, include at least 5 ratings, and have been refreshed within 90 days. Its weight is 12% for 5–24 ratings, 15% for 25–99, or 18% for 100 or more. Higher tiers require another base signal; a ratings-only lot stays at 12%.

What the reviewer said
From The Drew Barrymore Show, discussing Loyalty — House Blend:
“And this is Loyalty, it's our best-selling blend, and it's a blend of both Arabica and Robusta, which Vietnam is the most famous for.”
“So it's a little stronger than usual because Robusta has two times more caffeine than Arabica coffee beans.”
“There's a really delicious note of like a beautiful bitterness that's almost like a dark chocolate. And then I'm just getting velvet. It's so smooth and so beautiful.”
