Cherry's Index
Evidence-of-quality score, not a cup score. Methodology
48
Sparse signal
Confidence5% coverage / 1 of 7 signals
Score is heavily shrunk toward 50; treat as a placeholder until more sources arrive. Coverage is signal availability, not cup quality; missing sources are dropped, the remaining weights are renormalized, and the result is shrunk toward a neutral 50 baseline by 88% so a single thin signal can’t carry the score on its own.

Brew a set side-by-side. Cherry varies the picks along axes that pair with this lot; origin, process, roast, or producer; so you learn the difference, not just drink four good cups.

Naming an espresso blend after a quiet neighborhood street
Most espresso blends carry names about strength or intensity. Shady Lane suggests a quiet, specific place instead. It invites the drinker to imagine a destination rather than a caffeine hit. The name turns a daily routine into a slow walk through a neighborhood.
