Roasts to order · ships in ~1d

Your bag is roasted after you order; expect a short delay before it ships, but it arrives as fresh as the roaster can make it.

All our coffee is roasted to order which means it is packed and dispatched before it has had time adequately 'de-gas'. source ↗

Cherry's Index

Evidence-of-quality score, not a cup score. Methodology

76

Strong

Preliminary

Confidence35% coverage / 3 of 7 signals

Score is partially shrunk toward a neutral 50 — read directionally until more source families land. Coverage is signal availability, not cup quality; missing sources are dropped, the remaining weights are renormalized, and the result is shrunk toward a neutral 50 baseline by 13% so a single thin signal can’t carry the score on its own.
