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 ↗

Cherrybook Index (CBI)

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

53

Sparse signal

Confidence1 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 5% 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 88% so one thin signal cannot carry the score on its own.

The math on file: renormalized base 75.0 shrunk to 53.1 = 53.

Missing: SCA grade, Coffee Review, Reddit sentiment, YouTube reviews, On-shop ratings, Cherrybook ratings
