From the producer

Founded in 2014, UCANOCH brings together about 2,200 producers across Chiapas. Black & White reports that 46% are women and nearly all members belong to Tzeltal or Tzotzil communities; this release comes from members in Los Altos around Teopisca Nuevo León.

From the roaster

UCANOCH is an important ally for min

Why this coffee is noteworthy

A community field blend from an approximately 2,200-member Chiapas cooperative, with the exact release tracing coffee to Los Altos producers around Teopisca Nuevo León.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

Verified cooperative traceability

Confirmed UCANOCH, the Los Altos community in Teopisca Nuevo León, Chiapas, and the 1,200–1,700 m range from the exact roaster page.

Kept the field blend honest

Retained the existing Field Blend relationship and documented that the constituent cultivars and proportions are not published.

Completed process and roast context

Recorded same-day manual depulping, washing, the two producer-level drying paths, the medium label and a directly relevant 340 g retail listing.

Audited outside sentiment

Excluded seller summaries, catalogs and documentation-quality scores from independent cup-rating calculations.

What was added?

Verified 340 g package weight from an exact-product retailer, four editorial sections, current verification dates and a transparent evidence-limit note.

What wasn't added?

No named farm, single-point elevation, constituent cultivar list, blend percentages, timed fermentation, formal grade, original tasting score or public-sentiment score was inferred.

Why it matters

The page now separates UCANOCH’s cooperative story from lot-specific facts and makes producer-dependent drying choices explicit.

What you might taste

Dried apricot, pecan and milk chocolate with caramelized sweetness and vibrant acidity, according to Black & White.

Coffee profile

In the database. Not tasted. Not scored.

This coffee is in our database because we can reliably document it — but we haven't tasted and scored it yet, and we never publish a score we haven't earned.

Outside reviews and internet discussion — is kept clearly separate from our own review. When we taste it, our full review appears here.

The internet pulse

What the internet is saying about this coffee

Research complete — no qualifying reviews yet

Our research pipeline scanned public reviews, videos, forums and discussions for this coffee (last pass 2026-10-13) and found no independent review of this exact release that meets our verification standards. When qualifying sources appear, they'll be published here.

What we found

Seller and catalog pages repeat product information. Brew Matric’s trust score measures documentation quality, not cup quality, and was excluded.
