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 + bonuses = 55.

Inside this video
From Another Beautiful Story:
“We like to describe ourselves as a little bit more progressive in a way where we tend to push the boundaries of how coffee should taste like.”
“We want to be able to control the kind of coffees that we actually buy, control the kind of coffees how we actually roast it, to how we actually serve it in the cup.”
