Cherrybook Index (CBI)

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

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.

One thread author bought Valor Coffee's Tanlines Summer Blend on a whim for bright iced coffee after trying it as a cold brew at one of the roaster's locations. Another thread author mentioned using the same Tanlines Blend for pour-over, noting a minimum 14 days from roast recommendation by the roasters.
