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 55.4 shrunk to 53.1 + bonuses = 55.

One thread author expresses curiosity about Portrait roasters and mentions a blend with Rwandan and Colombian coffees described as an experimental natural and washed process with green apple, strawberry, and brown sugar tasting notes. Another thread author praises a washed coffee from Rwanda roasted by Portrait, but expresses mixed-to-negative feedback on a natural Paraineima from Finca La Union in Honduras, finding it too funky, amorphously fruity, muddled, and too roasty for their preferences.

I sung the praises of a washed coffee from Rwanda that was roasted by Portrait last week. Unfortunately, I cannot heap the same praise on a natural Paraineima from Finca La Union in Honduras that was also roasted by Portrait. It is funky and amorphously fruity, too muddled for me to pick out any particular fruit tastin
