How this estimate works

A statistical model, refit weekly across the in-stock catalog, estimates what a coffee with these listed attributes typically sells for per ounce. Each multiplier compares one trait against the average lot in this market; the roaster line covers brand and sourcing together, which this model cannot separate. Bag size is shown separately, priced at the rate observed across sizes of the same coffee, because it says nothing about the coffee itself. The distribution counts every in-stock listing in the comparison group, with at least 15 listings from three roasters and no roaster supplying more than 60% of it. Decaf, blends, variety segments, processing families and bag formats stay separate. Origin, roast and selling currency can broaden as the group label indicates. Prices are converted to USD per ounce; shipping and differences in tax treatment are not adjusted. The model reads listed attributes only: the quality of the specific lot in the bag is not observable, so a price above the typical band is not evidence of overpricing.

Some listing details are missing or have limited model coverage, so the typical band shown is wider than usual.

Cherrybook Index (CBI)

Evidence-of-quality score, not a cup score. Methodology

61

Preliminary

Confidence3 of 7 signals on file

Score is partially shrunk toward a neutral 50; read directionally until more source families land.

How confidence affects the score

Coverage measures signal availability, not cup quality. This coffee has 38% 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 5% so one thin signal cannot carry the score on its own.

The math on file: renormalized base 64.7 shrunk to 64.0 + bonuses = 61.

“I think book club is ok. Compared to other products idk. If you are pulling shots and doing milk drinks then it’s an amazing daily driver. I kind of look for a multi purpose decaf and idk. This works nice to blend for me but I wasn’t blown away like I was by Freethrow. If they could replicate that as a decaf I’d go 5. This is good coffee though if...”

These are short excerpts from third-party buyer reviews published on this product page. Storefronts may moderate reviews, and verification or incentive labels appear only when the provider supplies them. Their ratings are already represented in the aggregate above and are not counted again in Cherrybook Index.

How ratings count toward the Index

To count toward Cherrybook Index, an aggregate must come from a supported source, match this product, include at least 5 ratings, and have been refreshed within 90 days. Its weight is 12% for 5–24 ratings, 15% for 25–99, or 18% for 100 or more. Higher tiers require another base signal; a ratings-only lot stays at 12%.

Another thread author mentioned using the same Tanlines Blend for pour-over, noting a minimum 14 days from roast recommendation by the roasters.
