14 lots in stock, mostly Honduras, Peru and Ethiopia.
Coverage is below 50%. Available roaster-level evidence comes from Reddit. Per-lot evidence from SCA grades, Coffee Review entries, and public on-shop product ratings is limited across the catalog. With limited signal, scores are also pulled toward a neutral 50 baseline by the Cherrybook Index methodology, so lots can read flatter than the actual cup quality differences between them. The average Cherrybook Index therefore leans more heavily on roaster-level reputation than per-lot quality.

Per-lot signals (averaged)
Vary across lots; averaged over 14 in-stock lots.
Bonuses earned (per lot)
Base components are renormalized over whatever signals are available for each lot. SCA + Coffee Review are capped at 40% combined to keep the cupping story from dominating. Bonuses (accolades, awards, editorial coverage) and freshness decay are applied on top.

Another commenter mentions having enjoyed coffees from Coffee Libre in Korea previously, while distinguishing them from a US roaster named Libre. A third commenter mentions having tried a washed decaf Gesha roasted by Coffee Libre in Korea.

The internationally known ones like Fritz, Coffee Libre and Anthracite are ok - they are over developed for my taste. They were some of the earliest in Korea so I guess that’s where the reputation comes from (anthracite

…Pablo Andres Guerrero of Hacienda El Obraje in Colombia, roasted by Luminous (USA). This is my second decaf Gesha (the other was also washed, but roasted by Coffee Libre in Korea). While Gesha is my favourite coffee variety, I’m not sure if the nuances survive the decaffeination process well. I wasn’t able to get the…
