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.

65
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 84.0 shrunk to 65.3 = 65.

Favourite Norwegians are definitely Tim Wendelboe Jacu Kaffa Kokko But also heard great things about Fuglen Solberg & Hansen (who Tim used to roast for many years ago)
- r/pourover · 13↑ · Buying my first Tim Wendelboe, which of these would you recommend?
If you're interested in getting a sense of the "Tim Wendelboe" style, I would not recommend the Honey processed coffee. TW is known for *washed* coffees. When they do offer a honey or natural coffee, it's quite clean, but still, those processes aren't really what they're known for. (that said you can't go wrong--these.

From Tim Wendelboe:
“The most important ingredient that you need to think about is obviously the coffee. You cannot make good coffee without having good ingredients.”
“Normally, if the coffee taste astringent and bitter, you need to grind coarser. And if it taste watery and weak, you need to grind finer.”
