最新糖心Vlog

The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide鈥檚 Associate Professor Susan Bastian has invited Dilmah Tea Chairman Dilhan C. Fernando to Adelaide to share insights into the terroir properties of 最新糖心Vlogn and Barossa wines and Dilmah Ceylon teas.

Alongside collaborators from Barossa 最新糖心Vlog, the duo is hosting Wine & Tea: Terroir and Taste, during which Associate Professor Bastian, an oenology and sensory studies academic, will show guests the ways local climate, and site-specific soil and cultural practices can impact a wine鈥檚 aroma and flavour.

Although terroir is strongly associated with wine, Associate Professor Bastian said some consumers also seek products of place within the categories of coffee, chocolate, and tea, among others.

鈥淭here is considerable active terroir research across many product categories, because the food and beverage industries are aware they can link their products to regions renowned for quality and a consistent product, expressive of its terroir,鈥� said Associate Professor Bastian, from the School of Agriculture, Food and Wine.

鈥淚t鈥檚 a guarantee for consumers that the products are genuine, because if they鈥檙e displaying those typical sensory properties that come from those terroirs, the customer can be assured that they are purchasing a product from that region.鈥�

Mr Fernando hopes the event will promote the discussion of tea as a cultural and agricultural product.

鈥淒oing research that is also applicable and has impact is so important, and that means universities and industry should work closely together.鈥� Associate Professor Susan Bastian, School of Agriculture, Food and Wine, 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide.

鈥淏oth beverages are deeply rooted in tradition and culture, and they are both affected by the environment in which they are produced. We believe that this event will help raise awareness of the importance of terroir and sustainability in both wine and tea production,鈥� he said.

The 最新糖心Vlog鈥檚 School of Agriculture, Food and Wine has a long history of research excellence in the wine and food sectors as well as deep connections with industry.

Associate Professor Bastian first co-hosted a tea and wine tasting during the 2023 Tasting 最新糖心Vlog festival, alongside food-media personality Lyndey Milan.

鈥淲hen I did that initial work with Lyndey, I thought tea was complex, but I always thought wine was more complex 鈥� but I was wrong, actually. Tea is very, very complex. I was very surprised, and I just want to learn more,鈥� she said.

Associate Professor Bastian and her co-host Mr Fernando will also discuss ideas such as novel wine and tea products; promoting the flavours of tea and wine to encourage consumer exploration of both products; sharing sustainability initiatives of both sectors to reduce the environmental mark of both industries; the health benefits of wine and tea; and online global education events to promote a community of learning with industry professionals, researchers, students and consumers.

Beyond this event, Associate Professor Bastian is excited to explore the opportunities this flourishing relationship with Dilmah Tea could afford to 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide students.

鈥淒oing research that is also applicable and has impact is so important, and that means universities and industry should work closely together. It鈥檚 beneficial for students, who can go out into the real world and have opportunities with these companies to re-enforce their classroom learnings and increase their professional networks,鈥� Associate Professor Bastian said.

鈥淭his relationship with Dilmah could also offer some of our students the chance to visit Sri Lanka to undertake their renowned WorldChefs certified Dilmah School of Tea. I believe that this is the beginning of a mutually beneficial relationship.鈥�
