on d, w o. b, in question about the answer? well, in give it here. the answer to almost everything. we're documentary series with clever, crazy granite ground breaking questions. can we go and see after life? we getting dumber. how can we feed every 1? 42, he cancer to almost everything. starts january 15 on d, w. i germans 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. they put the tea drinkers ever more exacting demands are pushing producers to get more creative. because we always take a step further and ask that that available in germany to action 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 with oil. i will be surprised if they make 7 a 6 or 7 kill us for the think them all to go to the other fruits later. in western ga, christina may hick from estonia and thomas cats,

leon us from lithuania, our reinventing key production. and for the very 1st time and began a new life, 3000 kilometers from home. well, if you want to take only old, it would be impossible to cut it, sir mechanically, under this to leaves under by level if it goes mechanically, takes everything, those sir hard and all leaves as well. so close in estonia, christina may have used to work as a marketing expert for a bus company, but now she had a tea 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 one struck 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 it was 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 george and tea she used to always drink with her parents. and then she wondered why no one drank it any more. her tea in georgia and they understood that it has collapsed, completely. righty. so this kind of late for me is parked to say, yeah, so it's good for an interesting good. and we contacted the people here, of course didn't believe us at 1st. so like estonians went to pro t o like, that doesn't sound like worry like logical or real. but when we got tier than they were like, okay, you're serious. along with a few friends, christina, may hick and thomas cuddled. 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 on. but i didn't have a feeling that they actually make something that would well left the footprint in this world too. and when i heard about this idea, i thought, oh, this is it's, it's either now or never here at the border of asia, the damp sub tropical i'm it, and acidic soil are ideal for teeth. but also for weeks it took months to clear the old feels. 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 just put something on it like or like go think there was even like a joke. like some person like said the look like a burger, like just put something. no one will know who then. yeah that's. that's how it goes . so. so it's like 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 kent said she really and the other t pickers are benefiting from the new organic t idea. they worked on plantations as young women and their back added again, decades later. 3 fort, the 69 year old works 6 days a week, making about 20 years, a shift, dollar amount of money. i said to us, yeah, i really like the set my, i'm out here people per se portrait, 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, mark more shocked out commercial my child. i'm with the young plantation owners. had to get creative to figure out how to pay the t pickers. fare

t may be in, but it shouldn't give consumers a bad conscience launched their start up karma. collective it's mission is to help customers make a difference in best of hello people ideally or to see them also that company understood so, and that includes stops aiming to achieve new positive things at was. and i think that's what sets them apart, has dropped us as canada and touch it. the young entrepreneurs planned to expand their range of products. their idea is to market very regional natural cheese in returnable bottles. when you're trying things that aren't supposed to work, like making bottle drinks on its own, people always say no way without sugar and preservative, substitute and up, but it can work legally, and it is close by 4 berliners and the german capital is full of organic food enthusiasts, so that's why i one more whole got in touch with yog usta who's cultivating 40 heck tears of fennel. and that's just one of the flavors of our own mobiles. new t's not

depending on what the weather allows. you can keep harvesting it for 3 or 4 years in a row, and it tastes good question doesn't of this notation? of course, it's really an almost emotional experience is just because i know at some point and things will be running like clockwork. bonham, you know, and that's so nice. so can, yes, ah, the, i've done better. he often course in between. we farmers working here at this hobby farm are actually pretty cut off from the final processing step of our products on 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. we have a few ones as possible then we had looked at gallons, was on low. i know the only harvest the seeds of the funnel. it takes them 2 days to dry. some of some things. it looks different from the egyptian variety sauce,

and it looks great in glass and he's planning to pick up 200 key to the business. you 1st check where you could get fennel s'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 and brand number one, walk. and ever since then, we've had brandenburg fennel here one melissa 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 of failed attempts. so they have to stay focused on college off of course they get hectic, connected because everything has to be just right still including the brewing timed in seats on 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. i'm facing are pasteurized as his juice is at 80 degrees celsius. but that's too low for t. it needs higher temperatures to release its substances from my phone to home. if you don't have a makeshift, he can 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 the journal looks good, hopefully soon as possible. $41.00 euro, $79.00 o tears. it's slightly a city from so that house make it really refreshing. i will go on to fall 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 jolina 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, interaction with customers as well. in sustainability, certifications, i've always been motivated. i'm 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 no, the one climate killer is the black. coal traditionally used to dry the tea leaves . and then there are the harvest remains that release climate data 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 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 i think and v b output is slow right now would have 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 is the green alternative. it is in wyman 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 use 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 found the climate and the people. so the plantation owner is getting 1500 families, a little gift with a big impact. you're lucky to ally. if they come with 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. ah, despite having to learn a new language and writing system, christina may hick quickly felt at home in georgia, i ah . the estonian has new ideas, while missio v at union entering daily, changed her face only. she was very important back then i get that, that smell so good luck on that. her edition. if 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

thought more turned out our pension, which our yeah, not like a day 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. so a toilet a somewhat, it's not ever 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 to time to harmful to the environment, to use machines to dry the leaves. the fact that it was also like those my face, like ready to put like a lot of these on like, forced like gear of installation and, and also be sometimes heat. so for example,

when ms. bates was like, well, with the parent whether maybe 15 all were to strength y'all. worse than in those big factor is 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 i've come in the beginning with their prices start at 6 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. that for 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, the key lot for dollars,

a killer only blocking cost for us like that. those ladies were harvesting the leaves. 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 and georgia wanted to avoid such conditions in their own business. that's why they thought up their own special business model. with in awesome plantation owner keaton 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 back on his sister to than the old one. it takes less wood to cook and cooks faster. we need for kilos of wood for this one,

and we used to name 10. how can a jack 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 instead of the climate damaging black coal with 25 kilos times 400. that makes 100 rupees and some me by selling the left over coals to the t plant ashlyn path ran through our mission lavario and my family benefits from the additional income equity. that bush my little paragraph keaton patel's ingenuity to lower c o. 2 emissions knows 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. when see the competition? how dog soil is been developed in dom thought? what are eligible as abuse? i'll also be and the page when you decide and when compared with god each and every block is always we 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 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 on line. 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 when people are out a sickly buying cow, bartow for our plantation, like a small plots and her boat, they do not become owner of the spot. but if they get her half of the tea, which is produced from that blood for 25 years. so we, for example, produce like 20 kilos of div them the owner of the spot gets sir dan kilo's

of tea. at the end of the season, li encourage customer loyalty by adding personalized name 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, 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 what 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. other envy, we could all pitch in to 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. and so people ought to better understand the work behind it. oil and how it's about more than just a tea bag. a lunch. 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 full than others. these idealistic visions have many supporters because the renegade farm gives them a look behind the scenes of the tea business. and they can see just how hard it is to compete with low cost t brown. ah, this makes also sure that the connection if they are workers normally because they like to kick out the middleman, basically who usually take the money. so i hope that this kind of system not only

and see 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 would maybe consume less, let's consume, like more high quality than sustainable for, ah, there's a lot you can do. ah ah ah ah, ah, ah, ah ah, with

who we we drink and whatever. what into our muggy is coming out from human waste is causing a lot of problems around the world. when it comes to identifying solutions. i t,
