咖啡的收获是在一年里不同的月份（取决于生产国的地理位置），视果实的成熟情况而进行。而收获时间取决于地理位置、气候和海拔高度，按各个生产国的各自情况而改变。
为了让更多的朋友能够更接近准确的了解全世界各地咖啡豆的收货周期，我们整理了以下内容，以供参考使用。
    此表中也充分告诉了我们：“咖啡的时令性”这一名词的含义。而新鲜的豆子在收获9个月内杯测的成绩如果是90分，再过半年可能就只有80分了；时令新鲜对于豆子来说（不包括特殊处理的陈年老豆）必然是很重要的。是否是季节性的时令豆，可以看产区进行判断，方便单品爱好者选择时参考。
注：咖啡树生长2-3年后就会结果实，4-5年就可供采摘，之后，每棵树每年可产出约一磅的咖啡豆。产区的雨季决定了咖啡树开花的时间，经过雨季后的6-9个月咖啡过会转红，经过处理入仓出口。一般收获之后，还需要2-3个月的处理时间。

Coffee Production Timetable

This information is very approximate and can change from year to year a bit. There's another issue ... you could get new crop Costa Rica, for example, in December or January ... but would you want to? Probably not! Those shipments are lower grown coffees, lower altitude farms where coffee cherry ripens sooner. These are not going to have the cup quality of higher grown coffees, and will lack bean density and brightness. And sometimes coffee is "rushed" through production for market reasons, ruining any cup quality it has. Coffee needs careful, timely processing, and it needs to "rest" in it's outer parchment layer for 30-60 days at least after drying.

Even at the good farms, there are still early, early pickings of ripe cherry that are not usually the best coffee the farm will produce. For that you need to receive a lot of "heart of the crop" coffee, the mid-crop pickings when the cherries have uniformly ripened. The best lots of a farm, their "reserve" lots come from these pickings. In our Costa Rica example, those would arrive in the U.S. starting late March through June, in most seasons. There are always exceptions, and there can always be a great coffee the arrives out of sync with the crop cycle. Sometimes the first Harar arrivals are best, oftentimes not. Sometimes the last Harar arrivals are best. Cupping is the way we find out....

I have changed the table to reflect Best Harvest Time and Best Shipment Period ... in other words, the peak of the harvest at good altitude farms ... in other words, Specialty Coffee. But this is still a very general and rough guide to the Coffee Crop Cycle and should be regarded as an estimate, not a definite.
