In Colombia and especially in the Coffee Region, it means light food that is taken in the afternoons. It is usually latte or chocolate with parva ( bread) and cheese. It is similar to what is called elevens in Bogota (which is curiously taken in the afternoons between 3 and 5 pm). It is also called "the something" or "point". The light meal in the mornings is called nines or half nines and the evening snack. They are very common customs among peasants and copied in the city.
