Fall has long been a season of gratitude and abundance. Across cultures, the harvest is celebrated as a time to gather, give thanks, and prepare for the season ahead.
☕ But did you know coffee has its own harvest season too?
The Cycle of Coffee
Coffee begins as a small seed, nurtured into a plant that takes years before producing its first cherries. Once mature, the coffee tree enters its seasonal cycle of flowering, cherry growth, and finally, harvest.
In Colombia, the main coffee harvest season stretches from September through December, with a smaller harvest in the spring. This timing ties coffee closely to the rhythms of fall harvest traditions worldwide.
Why Climate Matters
Coffee thrives in what’s known as the “Coffee Belt”, regions near the equator with fertile soil, consistent rainfall, and temperate climates. Colombia is world-renowned because its unique geography. High mountains, volcanic soil, and steady rainfall creates ideal growing conditions.
🌱 The result? Beans with rich, balanced flavors, grown through generational farming methods that honor both the land and tradition.
