36 lots in stock, mostly Colombia, Ethiopia and Peru.
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 36 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 thread author notes trying a Rwandan Kinini Anaerobic from Rave Coffee with blackcurrant, black tea, and agave notes, producing a juicy cup with slight bitterness. A third poster mentions having enjoyed light and fruity beans from Rave in the past.

…a trolling I was still keen to give it a go. I mean, why the hell not right! So, not having a Gesha ready, took a chance with a Rwandan Kinini Anaerobic from Rave Coffee (blackcurrant, black tea, and agave notes).
