From the editors
This lot is no longer available at the roaster.
We last reached the roaster’s page for this coffee 35 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.
Cherrybook Index (CBI)
Evidence-of-quality score, not a cup score. Methodology
68
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 18% 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 55% so one thin signal cannot carry the score on its own.
The math on file: renormalized base 91.0 shrunk to 68.5 = 68.

Two Reddit posts praise Small Planes. One calls a roast excellent; another describes Arboretum espresso as extremely syrupy and sweet and says it prompted a bag purchase.

Just an FYI because I was continuing my coffee/tea tour of DC today based on some old posts on /r/coffee reccing places. I enjoyed the Small Planes Arboretum espresso blend. Extremely syrupy and sweet. Bought a bag for home use. Next on my list is Swings. They distribute in Baltimore so their 4 Mile espresso is my main
