In Colombia, coffee is harvested throughout the year. However, there are two main harvests: A large one called the main harvest and a small one called the "traviesa",  "mitaca," or “Fly crop” which produces approximately one-third of the main harvest. These characteristics allow for fresh coffee to be offered to the world throughout the year.The exact timing can vary depending on the region and other factors such as weather patterns. "In Colombia, there are multiple regions with diverse altitudes, microclimates, temperatures, and geographic conditions. These factors contribute to making Colombia one of the best countries in the world for offering a wide variety of fresh specialty coffees all year long".
