How Cherrybook Index is calculatedavg coverage 32% · limited data

Coverage is below 50%. Available roaster-level evidence comes from Reddit and YouTube. 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.

Mixed reviews· sentiment 68/100

Three Reddit comments give a mixed-to-positive view of La Cabra. One regular said the coffees were generally wonderful, though some naturals were intense, and reported good results at home. A Santa Rosa taster described a subtle, fresh, tasty cup with sweetness and body. A separate advent-calendar taster found one La Cabra coffee flat and grassy.

    I’m brewing the Santa Rosa right now. Pretty coffee. Fairly subtle like many La Cabra washed but very fresh and tasty. I get a really nice body and sweetness from a high extraction V60 recipe.
