The Australian Tea Cultural Society (AUSTCS) is a not-for-profit organisation created to bring the community together to discuss, collaborate on and promote tea culture in Australia. The organisation hosts an annual event, a seminar that features expert guest speakers from Australia and abroad, as well as panels, forums and workshops that give the tea community a platform to learn from and connect with each other. Throughout the year, AUSTCS members initiate and participate in activities to advance tea culture in Australia, including appearances at festivals and events as well as undergoing community outreach in schools, councils and the arts sector.
