From the editors
This lot is no longer available at the roaster.
We last reached the roaster’s page for this coffee 34 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.

How confidence affects the score
Coverage measures signal availability, not cup quality. This coffee has 48% 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 0% so one thin signal cannot carry the score on its own.
