2:12 am
including the brewing timed in seats on puzzle besides fennel, the t mixture includes hibiscus experiment, my tate blackberry leaves and nothing else. where juicing machines used to make organic juices. there are now t strainers. what an intense smell? my goodness i viscous. i'm facing a pasture rises, his juices 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 failed attempt. 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 at 41 euro. 79. o. tears were laid
2:13 am
slightly. a city from that house make it really refreshing. i will go on too far with the color is 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 of nature. but there's more to the place than that. ketone patel is the 3rd generation owner of the drilling
2:14 am
a t estate. he produces $800.00 tons of t a year. his organic t plantation is the biggest of its kind in india for me, or it has been a very exciting journey um, because of my overseas exposure with various travelers, exhibition participation in action 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 janina india is 2nd only to china in te cultivation and the country's potential is enormous and plantation owner ketone 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
2:15 am
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 i saw you 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 foster organic energy instead of waste? that's just one of the many ideas ketone patel is implementing to make his delingo t a state more climate friendly. the reason is one of the green alternative. it is and wyman friendly. but the 2nd also is that it will also reduce might be production caused by 15 percent. so basically it's
2:16 am
a win win for the industry as well as the environment 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 shall carry 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 p. like if they're gonna look at even though 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 when you get coverage with climate protection starts small and every little bit helps i despite having to learn
2:17 am
a new language and writing system, christina may hic, quickly felt at home in georgia. i mean, the estonian has new ideas while ms. dia kinser asheville, 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. like i get that this mouth so good. we got from data is chase. she was exported abroad a chinese, you know, we got bonuses and had great working conditions. we have several of did working 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, rationally. that was over 30 years ago. i turned that
2:18 am
operation was our young from not recognized of 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 abroad, guides of the diabetes we've only managed to make ends meet for his financial support. so it really does somewhat. it's not ever the tea producer pays above average weight is 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, 100 tharp who from estonia has tough work days. but he says it would be to harmful to the environment to use machines to dry the leaves. the fact that is the recall. so like those my face like ready booked like a lot of these on things like forest like area of installation and,
2:19 am
and also the sometimes heat. so for example, when my bigs for us like well, with the current weather, maybe 15 all were to strength. it 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 sentences. 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 of their price is start at $6.00 euros for 50 grams of t. ethical production comes at 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 dont almost get anything. and, and it just turns her off, because like if you like this mass market for these,
2:20 am
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 were harvesting to lease 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, received 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. with in some plantation owner ketone patel distributed 4000 of the new climate friendly wood ovens and the families of the t pickers are trying them out. will they become well established, like the ingenious plantation owner hopes that she did the up go column book on her
2:21 am
sister. you like cooking with this stove? roger obviously went, forgot the owner. nana, this stove 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 nate 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. if you had for air become biased, you stove helps us in some money by selling the left over coals to the t plan to ashley pack ran through our mission, nevada, and my family benefits from the additional income poly bag freshman little m f
2:22 am
t 10. patel's ingenuity to lower c o. 2 emissions, no is 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 dar coil is been developed in dom called. what are legos abuse? i'll also be and a be a general decide. and when compared with our each and every blocks is always with our 4 blocks, which is which one is giving them is better than their ambitious goal is to only consume what the farm produces itself and for plantation owner ketone patel. it's
2:23 am
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, and mom and there are thousands of tea 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. the demand is so enormous that they constantly have to clear new parts of their soviet era plantation. when i see
2:24 am
people are basically buying cow bartow for 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 plot for 25 years. so we feel, for example, produce like 20 kilos of div them the owner of the spot. good sir. thank you. lord of t at the end of the season they 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 filled the people with their own view bush's sir feel kind of part throw at them sir. and the field 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
2:25 am
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 i thought it costs 75 euros to sponsor a bush and in 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 cut country without allah mark northern ve. we could all pigeon to some extent and help food and drink businesses. take a look outside the city of it. and there are many options in germany and internationally in us. so people ought to better understand the work behind it. oil and how it's about more than just a tea bag of an inch. must matthew drink it fast and then throw it away fast. but when you see how it comes from a tea leaves 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
2:26 am
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 usually take the money. so i hope that this kind of system not all 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 maybe consume less, let's consume, like more high quality and sustainable for that. ah, there's a lot you can do for a good copper t ah ah,
