Cherrybook summary of the video

This video profiles Brad Barritt, former Saracens captain and founder of Tiki Tonga Coffee. It explores his transition from professional rugby to entrepreneurship, highlighting how the discipline and team-oriented values he learned on the pitch inform his approach to building his coffee brand.

Inside this video

From England Rugby:

“One of my sort of personal philosophies really in in life and in business stemmed from my time playing rugby. And as a captain, don't ask someone to do something that you wouldn't be prepared to do yourself.”
“I think for life after rugby, players really need to take the destiny into their own hands. Preparing yourself, whether it be tertiary education, work experience, a trade, I think it's so vital.”

How Cherrybook Index is calculatedavg coverage 5% · 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.
