  "Actually 
  no 
  coffee 
  is 
  grown 
  at 
  or 
  near 
  Bogota, 
  the 
  altitude 
  being 
  much 
  too 
  high 
  

  

  for 
  the 
  plant. 
  The 
  so-called 
  Bogota 
  coffee 
  is 
  grown 
  at 
  altitudes 
  varying 
  from 
  3,000 
  to 
  

  

  6,000 
  feet 
  and, 
  roughly 
  speaking, 
  is 
  confined 
  to 
  the 
  Department 
  of 
  Cundinamarca, 
  

  

  although 
  in 
  the 
  trade 
  the 
  coffees 
  of 
  Antioquia 
  and 
  Santander 
  are 
  sometimes 
  confused 
  

  

  with 
  the 
  product 
  of 
  Cundinamarca."
