AUSSIES love their coffee!
So much so that we drink more than six billion cups each year — that’s half a cup for each adult and child every day. Now most children don’t drink coffee, so some adults are drinking a lot! Yet chances are you have never drunk a cup of coffee grown in Australia because more than 99 per cent is imported.
Australia has significant areas of land suitable for growing coffee, and the Federal Government is working with the industry to grow the size of the Aussie-grown crop.
In the meantime, we are doing our bit at Glasshouse Plantation. Every Friday, Saturday and Sunday you have the opportunity to visit our coffee farm in the Glasshouse Mountains, take a tour and join a coffee tasting experience which showcases the terroir of Australian-grown coffee.
Just like wine, coffee has a taste of place or terroir. On a farm tour, you will learn about growing and processing coffee. After our tours, people often say they will love their daily coffee even more now they know what it takes to get it into their cup.
During our coffee tasting experience, you will learn about the characteristics of coffee grown in tropical and sub-tropical Australia and what makes it so special.
