3:17 am
how climate protection anti production can go hand in hand. i could also reduce might be production cost by 15 percent. and more and more tea drinkers want to have a positive impact. ah, well, i will be surprised if they make 7 a 6 or 7 kills for they think they want to go to the other place. later in western georgia, christina may hick from estonia and thomas cats leone us from lithuania, are reinventing p production and getting a fresh start themselves. 4 years ago, they tried their hand at farming for the very 1st time and began a new life,
3:18 am
3000 kilometers from home. well, if you want to take only highest quality leave, you have to do it by hand. those sir, old, it would be impossible to cut that sir. mechanical yonder, this to leaves under but level if, if it goes mechanical, it takes everything though, so hard and all leaves as well as dounia christina may have used to work as a marketing expert for a bus company, but now she had a t plantation is the best way to be like in connection with the nature actually. so connection where you see them growing like girl like in the spring when they actually start to like the 1st more ones start to start to grow. it's really like her memorizing feeling and tea has a long tradition in georgia in soviet times. 90 percent of the t for the gigantic
3:19 am
multi ethnic state was produced here using machinery and pesticides. but the t production at the foot of the caucasus mountains ended up collapsing along with the soviet union 30 years ago. and the once flourishing business gave way to poverty. a few years ago, christina remembered the georgian t. she used to always drink with her parents. and then she wondered why no one drank it any more. and miss arthur is like, what's his up until the 17 georgia. and they understood that it's has collapsed completely bloody. so this kind of late for me is parked this idea. so it's good for an interesting good and we contacted the people here, of course didn't believe us 1st so like her students went to brody. oh like that doesn't sound like very like logical or real. but when we got to them they were like ok peer. serious, along with a few friends, christina,
3:20 am
may hick and thomas cats, leon has decided to take the plunge, quit their jobs, and start new lives. look, i was quite successful in corporate business. i didn't have a feeling that they, i'm actually creating something sec, so tables, those meetings, present point presentation sentence and so on and so on. but i didn't have a feeling with actually make something that would slow left a footprint in this world too. and when i heard about this idea for pull, this is it's, it's either now or never here at the border of asia, the damp sub tropical climate and acidic soil are ideal for tea. but also for weeks it took months to clear the old fields. they finally read this field of ferns just 3 weeks ago. i think we never actually thought about it like people kept telling us
3:21 am
like go stupid. like to put something on it like or like go think there was even like a joke. like some person like said to look like a burger, like just put something, no one will know who they. yeah that's, that's how it goes. so. so it's like in our, in our minds that there's like member an option. and they're part of a real trend in germany. the amount of black and green tea farmed organically rose by about one percent to 12.9 percent in 2020. while fruit and herbal teas increased by 2.5 percent to 13.5 percent ms. via kim said she really and the other tea pickers are benefiting from the new organic tea idea. they worked on plantations as young women and their back added again, decade later. $34.00, and $3.00 or he'll over them with their child. so very the 69 year old works 6 days a week, making about 20 years, a shift,
3:22 am
dollar amount of money i said to watch. yeah, i really like this set up as john daddy, mike, i'm retired but i can't make ends meet with my pension eyes. so that's why i'm out here until project portrait and i'm really thankful you got did it by. i'm very happy to do it because this job gives me enough money to buy bread and i can feed my family marked more shocked. oak marshes, my child, i'm with the young plantation owners. had to get creative to figure out how to pay the t pickers. fair wages t may be in, but it shouldn't give consumers a bad conscience. and that's why the berliners, on moore ho, spend buck and lay on franken launched their start up karma, collective it's mission is to help customers make a difference. and best of hello people ideally or to see their wallets as
3:23 am
a sort of ballard paper. it lets them proclaim, i choose to support this so that company understood so, and that includes stops, i mean, to achieve new positive things at was. and i think that's what sets them apart, has kept us canada and touch it. the young entrepreneurs plan to expand their range of products. their idea is to market very regional natural cheese in returnable bottles of developed lunches. i'm often told things more work. and that's what so appealing to me and trying things that aren't supposed to work like making bottled drinks on it's about people always say no way without sugar and preservative, substitute on that, but it can work in our approach is to include regional ingredients to i'm bought brandenburg is close by 4 berliners, and the german capital is full of organic food enthusiasts. so that's why one more whole got in touch with yog usta who's cultivating 40 heck tears of fennel. and
3:24 am
that's just one of the flavors of our own models. new t's here, not the depending on what the weather allows. you can keep harvesting it for 3 or 4 years in a row, and it tastes good question. on one of them, he's nearing his goal of producing t regional doesn't in does this notation. of course, it's really an almost emotional experience is because i know at some point things will be running like clockwork. bonham, you know, not so nice. so i turn, ah, his positivity is contagious. unfair to he often course in between. we farmers working here at the farm are actually pretty cut off from the final processing step of our products and for the toilet. does it? no, i think it's great how this new company is tackling organic products and trying to sell them regionally. good life, a mock lester that makes them a good partner. we're really happy to collaborate with. feelings. doesn't vomit in
3:25 am
we had mucus gases on low. i know they only harvest the seeds of the funnel. it takes them 2 days to dry and then they're ready for herbal tea along with some of some things. it looks different from the egyptian varieties last and it looks great in glass and he's planning to pick up 200 kilos. a fennel seeds today come on on this one isn't him. if you're new to the business on you 1st check where you could get fennel else's and that was through a vendor in egypt. then we approached the farm and they started supplying us and lost a get, but they were still ultimately located in asia and clayton. and then i thought it's all okay, but it'll also grow here in brandenburg on one walk. and ever since then, we've had brandenburg fennel here one of your bones. they're still working out the final new t recipe. but wondering producer nearby has committed to their experiment and
3:26 am
they've had their share of failed attempts. so they have to stay focused. the kinetic off of course, things can go long last month and we won't know until we tasting it from us. so there's always some tension on going to and it's about to get hectic and hector, because everything has to be just right still, including the brewing time and cousin besides fennel. the t mixture includes hibiscus, spearmint, mattie blackberry leaves and nothing else. where juicing machines used to make organic juices. there are now t strainers with what an intense mel, my goodness, if i discussed i'm facing a pastor rises, his juice is at 80 degrees celsius, but that's too low for t. it needs higher temperatures to release its substances for my phone or if you don't have a makeshift take it like this in front of you every day. and the process is a different. you 1st have to learn and get a feeling for how everything works. and how they learn their lessons from their
3:27 am
failed attempts. so far, all internal looks good. hopefully it tastes good to the bottle. t is supposed to be launched in stores as soon as possible for one euro, 79 tears. it's slightly a city from so that house make it really refreshing. i will go on to follow the colors. great. i think we can be satisfied. good job. the contents of the t strainer, used at the juice, producer end up in the compost bin to make fertilizer for the next plants and the next experiment. and there will be a next 1. 1 of the world's best known t cultivation regions is awesome. india but awesome has a terrible image. it's name is tarnished by starvation wages and over exploitation
3:28 am
of nature. but there's more to the place than that. ketone patel is the 3rd generation owner of the drilling a t a state. he produces $800.00 tons of tea a year. his organic tea plantation is the biggest of its kind in india for me or it has been a very exciting journey because of my overseas exposure with various travellers, exhibition participation, interaction with customers as well. and sustainability certifications. i've always been motivated and always taken learn learnings from those and come back and implemented that in jolena. india is 2nd only to china in te cultivation and the country's potential is enormous. and plantation owner ketone
3:29 am
patel doesn't intend to rest on his laurels. his ambitious plan is to make the plantation c o 2 neutral the number one climate killer is the black. coal traditionally used to dry the tea leaves and then there are the harvest remains. that release climate damaging methane when rotting. regarding the car by masa that we collect. we felt obviously that this could be used for a benefit to create energy, whether it's pellets, whether it's composting good for a soil fertility. they produce a ton of pallets a day enough to substitute most of their black coal. and they soon plan to replace it completely which could help lower annual c o 2 emissions by 2300 tons. i can see the output is slow right now. what has to be much faster? organic energy instead of waste. that's just one of the many ideas ketone patel is
3:30 am
implementing to make his delingo t a state more climate friendly. the reason is one of the green alternative it and wyman friendly. but the 2nd also is that it will also reduce might be production caused by 15 percent. so basically it's a win win for the industrial, relatively in wyoming, and to protect the environment even more, he aims to produce his t gardens, c o, 2 emissions by another $1000.00 tons a year. t picker, chunk harry koala lives on the plantation with her family. and she's been cooking over an open fire so far, but that's bad for the climate and the people. so the plantation owner is getting 1500 families, a little gift with a big impact. yellow peer to la. come look at it. this is for you to cook with you. it wasn't the book, the sufficient would oven doesn't smolder. and it's good for your health coverage
3:31 am
with climate protection starts small and every little bit helps i despite having to learn a new language and writing system, christina may hick quickly felt at home in georgia. i mean the estonian has new ideas while mizzi a kid. so rush villi has old stories from back when georgia was still part of the soviet union entering daily, changed ref i only, she was very important back then i get that the smell so good. we got from that her is chase. she was exported abroad a chinese, you know, we got bonuses and had great working condition. if you have several of it working
3:32 am
on the key plantations, you were financially secure. i said, oh, i'm actually about to chase blended. it was a happy time for ms. dia kinslow, she really, that was over 30 years ago. i turn out our collision was our young from not recognized when the soviet union broke apart. we had no more in common chemistry. it's i with the plantations became while i was downtown, and because we weren't earning enough anymore, my son went to garage guys of the diabetes we've only managed to make ends meet for his financial support. so it really does some what it's whatever the t producer pays above average wages during the 5 month harvest season. and that enables employees to make a living for the rest of the year. one of the been so far in the 1st year they harvested 10 kilos. and now in year for the expect 2 tons,
3:33 am
100 tharpe who from estonia has tough work days. but he says it would be too harmful to the environment to use machines to dry the leaves. the fact that it's the recall. so like those machines like ready booked, like a lot of leaves on things like forest like area of installation and, and also be sometimes heat. so for example, run me base for us like, well, with the current weather, maybe 15, all were to strengthen all worse than in those big factories. it takes maybe 2 hours, 3 hours and the leaf is ready to go. green black and white t r made from the same plant, camelia finances, they're just processed differently. and the staff to everything themselves here from drying and rolling the leaves to packing and shipping the finished tea. that way. the money stays at the farm. i comes in the beginning with their prices start at 6 euros for 50 grams of t. ethical production comes at
3:34 am
a cost when we started to look into the industry and, and how it works. but for the farmers almost don't get anything. the people actually making the theme in the factories, they don't almost get anything. and, and it just turns her off because like if you like this mass market for these, they are sold in the global market. maybe $3.00 a key lot for dollars, a killer. only blocking cost for us like that. those ladies for harvesting the leaves, awe about 86 percent of the sales price in germany goes to the supermarkets and t production companies. while workers in the indian state of awesome, for instance, receive just 1.4 percent according to an oxfam study. the owners of the plantation in georgia wanted to avoid such conditions in their own business. that's why they thought up their own special business model. him in
3:35 am
awesome plantation owner keaton patel distributed 4000 of the new climate friendly wood ovens and the families of the tea pickers are trying them out. will they become well established like the ingenious plantation owner hopes that she d. d of gold cannon buck on his sister, you like cooking with this stove. roger obviously went, forgot the owner. nana, this stuff is better than the old one. it takes less wood to cook and cooks foster . we need 4 kilos of wood for this one. and we used to ne, 10, how can it at any level and that lowers c o 2 emissions. and even for the chart would left over the plantation owner has an idea the families can sell it to the plantation. and then the charcoal can be used to dry out the tea leaves, instead of the climate damaging black coal with $25.00 kilos times $400.00. that makes 100 rupees 8. your hard for air will come by
3:36 am
. this new stove helps us send some money by selling the left over coals to the t. planned to ashley pack ran through our mission net perio and my family benefits from the additional income body that bush me little m f. t 10. patel's ingenuity to lower c o. 2 emissions, no no limits. the plantation is already preparing for its next project, sponsored by german climate organization. atmospheric for different compost mixtures are being enriched with environmental bio coal. so what mix makes the best fertilizer project manager so much data is hoping this effort will boost to yields by up to 30 percent. will see the competition. how dog soil is being developed in terms of what are rolling up as it is highly policy
3:37 am
b and the ph window of the site. and when compared with that, each and every block is old with our 4 blocks, which is which one is given garbers better does and they're ambitious goal is to only consume what the farm produces itself and for plantation owner ketone patel. it's a question of survival. that's the only way you can do organic in a competitive way and having a long term perspective in terms of climate and bombing. there are thousands of t plantations in india. but climate visionaries like he 10 patel still have a lot of convincing to do ah, in their adopted home of georgia, the baltic t farmers have thought up an unusual business model. they sell plots of their land online. and there are already 169 virtual buyers from 21 countries.
3:38 am
the demand is so enormous that they constantly have to clear new parts of their soviet era plantation. when i see people are basically buying car part of our plantation, like a small plots and her phone, they do not become owner of the spot. but if they get her half of the tea, which is produced from that block for 25 years. so we feel, for example, produce like 20 kilos of tease them, the owner of the spot gets sir. thank you. lot of teeth at the end of the season, li, encourage customer loyalty by adding personalized names. signs in the middle of georgia . christina may hick and the others name their farm renegade to emphasize their alternative ways to help the people with their own feel bushes sir,
3:39 am
feel credit for it though at them sir. and the feel closer to nature, and they actually get this really personal experience that they know who are their own to. farmers are fill it, be neck from germany, works for a humanitarian foundation in courtesy. and he gave his parents their own t bush. now he's taking a look at it. okay, i think through it costs 75 euros to sponsor a bush or of manned an exchange. he received 3 different packages of tea a year so people can donate to support a great idea and promote a kinder economy. it's an interesting ca 20th our dollar mark, nazarene view. we could all pitch into some extent and help food and drink businesses. take a look outside the city a bit. and there are many options in germany and internationally in so be
3:40 am
a lot to better understand the work behind it. oil, and how it's about more than just a tea bag. love an inch mazda. if you drink it fast, and then throw it away fast. but when you see how it comes from italy's and all the work that goes into it and who did it, you may be, enjoy it more and be less weight or full than others. these idealistic visions have many supporters because the renegade farm gives them a look behind the scenes of the t. and they can see just how hard it is to compete with low cost t brands. ah, this makes also sure that the connection if they are workers normally because really go kick out the middleman, basically who are you shouldn't take the the money. so i hope that this kind of a system not only in t but then for the general would go either. so people, of course, the products are more expensive than but the, i hope that the, in general, people with may be consume less. let's consume,
