Noted
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 23% 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 43% so one thin signal cannot carry the score on its own.
The math on file: renormalized base 81.9 shrunk to 68.3 = 68.

...er north for my beans - although not in person! - to Edinburgh, a city I have twice visited and feel a great warmness for. This is the first of two coffees coming from Obadiah; first up a washed Colombian Castillo grown by 23 year old Angela Maria Ocampo on her family farm. Just 4 days off the roast (brewed Hoffman
