Cherrybook summary of the video

This documentary profiles Roast House Coffee in Spokane, Washington, highlighting their commitment to 100% organic, fairly traded, and sustainably grown coffee. It details the company's focus on transparency in sourcing and their success in national competitions like the Good Food Awards.

Inside this video

From KSPS PBS Public TV:

“By offering only 100% organic coffees that are fairly traded and sustainably grown, Roast House has created a niche for itself in the Spokane coffee market.”
“The coffee has to be transparent. So you have to be able to clearly define where it came from, who produced it. It has to be fairly traded, and it has to be grown sustainably.”

How Cherrybook Index is calculatedavg coverage 11% · limited data

Coverage is below 50%. No Reddit or YouTube roaster-level signal is on file. 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 reflects the limited per-lot evidence plus the methodology's neutral baseline.
