Cherry's Index
Evidence-of-quality score, not a cup score. Methodology
47
Sparse signal
Confidence5% coverage / 1 of 7 signals
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. Missing sources are dropped, remaining weights are renormalized, and the result is shrunk toward a neutral 50 baseline by 88% so one thin signal cannot carry the score on its own.

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.
