Price and availability set by the roaster.
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 ↗

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.
