From the editors
This lot is no longer available at the roaster.
We last reached the roaster’s page for this coffee 0 days ago. It now returns a not-found or members-only response, so we’ve archived the buy link rather than send anyone to a dead page. The notes, sensory chart, and editorial context below remain useful as a record of what this lot offered.

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 88.0 shrunk to 71.8 = 72.

...ver of speciality coffee for probably 15 or more years now. Had the pleasure of living in close proximity to a couple of the greatest roasters I've found (Heart & Roseline), but now I'm back home in Chicago, which is sadly kind of a dark roast kind of town. Anyway, I've entertained the idea of home roasting for a lo
