请加入我们在广州美国中心与Dylan Rothenberg会面，他是一位在广州华南农业大学研究茶叶科学和可持续茶叶种植的美国研究生。通过他在中国茶叶可持续生产的博士研究，Dylan已经观察了国际茶叶消费的趋势以及今天改善茶叶行业可持续性的努力。在演讲中，Dylan将探讨两个广泛而有趣的与茶有关的主题。首先，自古代中国发现以来，茶饮文化和传统在全球范围内的传播。接下来，我们探讨2023年茶叶行业的健康和可持续性状况——我们今天必须克服哪些挑战，以便未来几代人也能享受这个古老的传统。

Please join us at the Guangzhou American Center to meet Dylan Rothenberg, an American graduate student researching tea science and sustainable tea cultivation at South China Agricultural University in Guangzhou. Through his PhD work on the sustainable production of Chinese tea, Dylan has spent several years observing international trends in tea consumption, as well as today’s efforts to improve tea industry sustainability. During the presentation, Dylan will be exploring two broad and fascinating tea-related topics. First, the spread of tea-drinking culture and tradition around the world since its initial discovery in ancient China. Next, we explore the state of tea industry health and sustainability in 2023 – what challenges we must overcome today so that future generations may also enjoy the age-old tradition of tea.

嘉宾简介：Dylan拥有中国语言文化学术背景，2017年正式转行茶学研究。2020年获得中国农业大学茶学硕士学位，目前正在完成博士研究。他的研究重点是有机茶田管理实践，以促进土壤健康、减少环境影响、提高茶树恢复力和作物质量。在实验室之外，迪伦制作视频，邀请世界各地的人们深入了解茶的艺术和科学。迪伦认为茶不仅是促进人类健康的一种方式，也是促进人与人之间以及与自然世界联系的一种方式。

Bio: Dylan has an academic background in Chinese language and culture, however transitioned to researching tea science formally in 2017. He earned a Master’s degree in Tea Science at a Chinese university of agriculture in 2020, and is currently working to complete his doctoral research. His research focuses on organic tea field management practices that promote soil health, reduce environmental impact, and enhance tea plant resilience and crop quality. Outside of the laboratory, Dylan produces videos that invite people around the world to dive into the art and science of tea. Dylan views tea as a way to not only promote human health, but to also foster connection between people and with the natural world.
