Coffee has been grown in Australia since before Federation. The resurgence in coffee plantations during the late part of last century can be attributed to the developments in mechanised harvesting.

The ASTCA aims to:

•  promote public awareness, increase understanding, taste and consumption of Australian Subtropical Coffee.
• provide education by disseminating research on processing and preparation.
• provide a forum for the exchange of information.
• render services to members.
• Establish a central quality control commitee to ensure the best quality of green bean possible.
