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 84.6 shrunk to 69.9 = 70.

Two Reddit posts praise Sump. One poster says they enjoyed trying it; another calls a Costa Rica coffee exceptional, juicy, full, easy to brew, and highly recommends it.

Finally got to try Sump from St. Louis. Enjoyed it but I used a little too much water. Any thoughts on Sump, their coffee, or ways to prepare it?
- r/Coffee · 5↑ · [STL] Coffee Recommendation: Sumps's Costa Rica Las Lajas
For all you STL peeps, Sump's most recent batch of Costa Rica is exceptional. Very juicy, very full. Very easy to brew at home on a V60, too. I'm doing 25:350 at a 14 grind (on a Baratza), 50g bloom, water in by 1:45 and dripped by 2:20. If you can pick up a bag or find a cup in a local shop, I highly recommend trying.
