How Cherry’s Index is calculatedavg coverage 23% · limited data
Coverage is below 50%. Most of this roaster’s lots are scored off roaster-level signals (Reddit + YouTube) without per-lot SCA grades, Coffee Review entries, or published buyer reviews. With limited signal, scores are also pulled toward a neutral 50 baseline by the Cherry’s Index methodology, so lots can read flatter than the actual cup quality differences between them. The avg Cherry’s Index reflects general reputation more than per-lot quality.

Tim Wendelboe is widely regarded as a titan of the specialty coffee world, particularly famous for his pioneering Nordic light roast style. Reddit users frequently group him alongside elite roasters like Sey and praise his offerings—such as specific farm lots, washed coffees, and budget-friendly test roasts—for their incredible clarity, floral notes, and sweetness. While subscription shipping times and international costs can occasionally pose hurdles depending on the destination, the beans themselves command immense respect and are a frequent benchmark for light-roast lovers.
