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 79.5 shrunk to 67.0 + bonuses = 69.

It's been over a year since the last AZ coffee post. I'm here on a visit. I won't make it all the way down to Tucson ([Presta](https://www.prestacoffee.com/) is decent) but I'll likely make it to Phoenix. I hear [Cartel](https://www.cartelcoffeelab.com/) used to be good, but my one experience there was so so. [Peixoto]
