that's all for now. we will have more for you soon. of course, you know, i get the latest and d, w dot com, follow us on instagram and twitter at the w news. i am wayne blue cross. it was good having you and we will see you very soon with a thought they were great. you will be able to imagine how many portion of love are now in the world right now. climate change. if any story, this is my place, the way from just one week,

how much was going to really get we still have time to go. i'm going on with his some scribe movie is like with oh, humans drink over 133000000 cups of tea every day. and they're often more discerning than they used to be because they want to know if they're really holding a good cup in their hands. people actually making the feed in the factories they don't, don't look at anything. t drinkers ever more exacting demands, are pushing producers to get more creative. and we always take a step further and ask that available in germany to and many companies show how

climate protection anti production can go hand in hand. that could also reduce might be production caught by 15 percent and more and more tea drinkers want to have a positive impact. ringback well, i will be surprised if they make 7 or 6 so cern kills for they think they want to go to the other pro. later in western georgia, christina may hick from estonia and thomas cats leone us from lithuania, or re inventing key 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,

3000 kilometers from home. well, if you want to take only highest quality leave, you have to do it by hand, sir. old it would be impossible to cut it, sir. mechanical yonder. this to leaves under by level if it goes mechanically, takes every think, those so hard and all leaves as well. so in a stonier, christina may heck 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 doing like the 1st more ones start to start to grow. it's really like her amazing feeling and te, has a long tradition in georgia in soviet times. 90 percent of the t for the gigantic

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 tea she used to always drink with her parents. and then she wondered why no one drank it any more and they started up. it is like what's up until the 17 georgia. and they understood that it has collapsed, completely. righty. 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 at 1st. so like as soon as i went to brody. oh like that doesn't sound like very like logical or real. but when we got here, then they were like go ok peer serious along with a few friends, christina,

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 this corporate business. i didn't have a feeling that i am actually creating something that one of those sex old tables, those meetings, present point, presentation sentence and so on and so on. but i didn't have a feeling that actually make something that would slow left a footprint in this world. and when i heard about this idea, i saw po, 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

like, are you stupid like to put something on it like go to like go think there was even like a joke. like some person like said that look like a burger, like just put something. no one will know. oh yeah that's, that's how it goes. so. so it's like in our, in our mindset 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. msi a kid, so she really and the other tea pickers are benefiting from the new organic t idea. they worked on plantations as young women and their back at it again, decades later. 34 and 3. 0, hello. there child. so beth, the 69 year old works 6 days a week, making about 20 years, a shift,

dollar amount of money i said to watch. yeah, i really like the setup is jonetta mac. i'm retired, but i can't make ends meet with my pension eyes. so that my, i'm out here pick on t o project trend and i'm really thankful you guys did it. my 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. closures, 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 mo, when buck and leon franken launched their start up karma, collective its mission is to help customers make a difference. and best of hello people ideally or to see their wallets as

a sort of ballard paper. it lets them proclaim, i choose to support this so that company understood so, and that includes stops aiming to achieve new positive things. that was and, and i think that's what sets them apart is dropped us as canada until she to the young entrepreneurs plan to expand their range of products. their idea is to market very regional natural cheese in returnable bottles of developed. plenty of them often told things more work, and that's what so appealing to a new trying things that aren't supposed to work about like making bottle drinks on its own. people always say no way without sugar and preservative, substitute on that, but it can work in our approach is to include regional ingredients yields to i'm bought brandenburg is close by 4 berliners and the german capital is full of organic food enthusiasts. so that's why i one movie got in touch with you argue who's cultivating 40 heck tears of fennel and that's just one of the flavors of our

own mobiles. new t's here. not even depending on what the weather allows, you can keep harvesting it for 3 or 4 years in a row. and it tastes good question. when he's nearing his goal of producing t regionally gotten into the situation. of course it's really an almost emotional experience because i know at some point things will be running like clockwork one. hm. you know, and that's so nice. so it should, ah, his positivity is contagious. the i plan for that he often gotten between we farmers working here at the big farm are actually pretty cut off from the final processing step of our product systems on for defense toy does it? no, i think it's great. ok, mr. that makes them a good partner. we're really happy to collaborate with. feelings does assessment. then we had looked at gallons allow, i know they only harvest the seeds at the funnel. it takes them 2 days to dry

and then they're ready for herbal tea 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 of fennel seeds to day them on. on this one isn't him if you're new to the business and you 1st check where you can get fennel elsis and that was through a vendor in egypt. then we approached the farm and they started supplying us in laws a get, but they were still ultimately located in asia of unclear now, and then i thought it's all okay, but it'll also grow here and brandon burl and wanted walk. and ever since then, we've had brandenburg fennel here on melissa and jones. they're still working out the final new t recipe. but wondering producer nearby has committed to their experiment and they've had their share a failed attempts. so they have to stay focused. i

cannot oh, of course things can go wrong as well and we won't know until we tasted from us. so there's always some tension on going on. and it's about to get hectic and hector, because everything has to be just right, including the brewing timed in seats. one puzzle, besides fennel, the t mixture includes hibiscus, spearmint, marty 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 viscous. i'm facing, a pastor 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 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. $41.00 euro, $79.00 o. tears laid slightly. a city from that house make it really refreshing. i will go on to father. 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 one. ah, one of the world's best known t cultivation regions is awesome india. but are some 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 jolina t. s. date. 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, 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 engine lingo. india is 2nd only to china in te cultivation and the countries 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 rotting regarding the car bama 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? yeah. organic energy instead of waste. that's just one of the many ideas ketone patel is implementing to make his delingo t estate more climate friendly. the reason is one of the green alternative it and

women friendly. but the 2nd also is that it will also reduce might be production gotten by 15 percent. so basically it's 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, chunk hurry 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. you're lucky. i got lucky with this is for you to cook with you. and the book, the sufficient good oven doesn't smolder. and it's good for your health. one you obviously can actually play with climate protection starts small

and every little bit helps. ah, 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 msi kinslow dash valley has old stories from back when georgia was still part of the soviet union entering that he changed ref, i only, he was very important back then i get that, that smell so good luck on data is chase. he was exported abroad a chinese show we got bonuses and had great working conditions is february 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, she really, that was over 30 years ago. i thought, well, sure, not affiliation with somebody else, not to recognize when the soviet union broke apart. we had no more in common chemistry. it's i with the plantations we came 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 to a toilet a somewhat. it's not ever the tea 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. so far in the 1st year, they harvested 10 kilos. and now in year for the expect 2 tons, hundreds 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 back for like those machines like ready to put like a lot of these on things like pores like error installation and, and also be sometimes heat. so for example, when mistakes were also like, well, with the warrant, whether 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 pipe comes in the beginning with their prices start at $6.00 euros for 50 grams of t. ethical production comes the 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 off, because like if you like this mass market for these, they are sold in the global market, maybe $3.00 akilah, $40.00 killer, only blocking cost for us like that. those ladies were harvesting, believes about 86 percent of the sales price in germany goes to the supermarkets and t production companies. while workers in the indian state of our sam, 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? he of gold con him. but on his sister, you lie cooking with this stove, roger obviously went about the owner. nan, i this drive is better than the old one. it takes less wood to cook and cooks faster. we need 4 kilos of wood for this one, and we used to ne, 10, how can a zack 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 you had for lab will come by. just use does help to send some money by selling the left over coals to the t plan

to i should have had ran through our mission lavarrio and my family benefits from the additional income equity. that bush and 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 with 4 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 been developed in dom thought. what earling up was a decided policy b and b, a general decide. and when compared with god each and every block this dial 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 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 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 they're 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 people are out a sickly buying car part of our plantation, like a small plots and her folk. 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, for example, produce like 20 kilos of div than the owner of the spot. good sir. thank you. lot 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 few bushes, sir, feel

a credit for it though at them sir. and the field closer to nature, and they actually get this really personal experience that they know who 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 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 ha trenton without allah martin as an envy we could all pitch in to some extent and help food and drink businesses. take a look outside the city a bit more and there are many options in germany and internationally. and 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 mazda. if you 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 filled. and 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 usually take the money. so i hope that this kind of 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 maybe consume less, let's consume, like more high quality than sustainable for that. ah,

there's a lot you can do for a good cup of tea. ah ah ah ah, ah, ah, ah ah, ah ah ah
