Where each fact came from

Altitude, lowest

“La Montaña sits between 1,800 and 2,050 masl in the village of San Ramón La Montaña.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Variety

“Today, 11 hectares are planted with varieties including Bourbon, Caturra, Pache, Catuaí and San Ramón.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Decaffeination method

“In the 1970s, the land was used mainly for growing corn, beans and sugar cane and raising cattle, as the cool mountain climate was thought too challenging for coffee.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Direct trade

“We are the home of fresh coffee. When you order online, your coffee is roasted fresh to order, especially for you. Plus, it’s specialty grade and traded ethically through Union Direct Trade.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Country of origin

“A juicy and comforting coffee from Finca La Montaña, with notes of red apple, roasted hazelnut and dried apricot, grown high in Guatemala’s Huehuetenango mountains.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

A further 5 facts on this page were read from part of the shop page that holds no sentence — a menu or a product grid — so there is nothing to quote for them.

Taken from the roaster’s own pages, and nothing here has been verified by us or by an independent body. What we store is a passage of page text cut around the fact, so one shown with an ellipsis is a passage we cannot see the start or the end of; only the fully quoted ones are complete sentences.
