The video features an interview with the three co-owners of Zab Café, discussing the history of their partnership and the founding of the roastery in 2014. It highlights their collaborative dynamic and the origins of the name Paquebot, which was inspired by their early coffee bike project.

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.
