Inside this video
From Sam and Victor:
“We haven't been to the city for like 10 years now, but we're here mostly because my close friend moved here from Hong Kong.”
“Other than that, our plan is to hit up a few coffee shops in the city. Check out the coffee scene here and see if they're legit, they're good.”

How Cherrybook Index is calculatedavg coverage 27% · limited data
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.
