Meet Dylan Rothenberg, a grad student from the U.S. who’s steeped in the world of Chinese tea—literally. Pursuing a Ph.D. in tea science at Southern China Agricultural University in Guangzhou, Dylan has turned his academic passion into a viral social media journey, blending science, culture, and a lot of caffeine. 🧪🌱
In his latest vlog, the self-proclaimed 'tea vlogger' documents a day in his life: sipping five different teas (from floral oolongs to earthy pu’er), experimenting with brewing techniques, and breaking down the science behind each cup. “It’s like a chemistry lab, but tastier,” he jokes.
Dylan’s content bridges East and West, offering fresh takes on ancient traditions. Whether explaining tea ceremonies or debunking myths about caffeine levels, his videos resonate with Gen-Z viewers craving authentic cultural insights. “Tea isn’t just a drink here—it’s a language,” he says. 💬
For travelers, students, and tea newbies alike, Dylan’s story is a reminder: sometimes the best way to connect cultures is one sip at a time. ☕🌏
