    Answer: Central part of Colombia

    Explanation: It is believed that coffee was introduced to Colombian in the 16th century, but that they had not yet decided on coffee production. The reason was that it took five years for the first crop and people worried that they would survive that time. Later in the 1800's, coffee began to be mass produced and the first major exports were in 1835 to the United States. Later, the volume of exports steadily increased.

    Colombia is considered to have specific regions in terms of hours of sunshine, wind, humidity, droughts and anything else that is conducive to brewing coffee. Because of these conditions, coffee production is most prevalent in central Colombia, where the conditions are such that coffee can be grown and harvested throughout the year. It's the so-called Colombia coffee zone "eje cafetero" and these are areas of Caldas, Quindio, Risaralda and the north of Valle.
