Fascinating Footage of a Colombian Farmer Harvesting Ripe Coffee Cherries.

The coffee harvest in Colombia is a significant event that takes place twice a year, with the main harvest occurring between October and March, and a smaller mid-crop harvest happening between the end of March or early April and August. The timing of the harvest varies by region, with the northern zone starting in March and ending between October and November, while the southern zone starts in October and ends in June. The coffee cherries, which house the coffee beans, start out green and slowly turn to a deep red when they are ripe. The ripeness of the cherries is determined by their appearance and touch, with ripe cherries being slightly soft and giving a little under pressure. Overripe beans, which are brown or black, are avoided as they can produce a bitter to sour taste.
