ah, welcome to tech told me about hackers, paralyzed me to your societies. computers that out some are you and governments that go crazy for your data. we explain how these technologies work, how they can go in for, and that's how they can also go terribly. watch it now on youtube. oh, 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. people actually making the feed in the factories,

they don't almost get anything. tea drinkers ever more exacting demands, are pushing producers to get more creative. you can always take a step further and ask if that available in germany too. and many companies show how climate protection anti production can go hand in hand, but it could also reduce might be production cost 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 or 6 so soon kills for they think them on to go to the other pro. later. hold in western ga, chris dina may hick from estonia and thomas cats. leon us from lithuania,

our re inventing t 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 leaves, you have to do it by hand. because sir old, it would be impossible to cut that sir mechanically under this to leaves under but level if, if it goes mechanically, it takes everything those so hard and all leaves as well, so called in estonia. christina may heck 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 you can actually 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 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 george in tea. 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 has happened through the 17 georgia and they understood us collapse completely bloody. so this kind of late for me was 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 as soon as i went to brody. oh 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 cats, leon as 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 sold tables, those me thinks present point presentation sentence and so on and so on. but i didn't have a feeling that actually make something that was left a footprint in this world too. 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 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 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 cancer actually, and the other t 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 or a little bit of their child. so beth, the 69 year old works 6 days a week, making about 20 years of shift, dollar amount of money. i said to what i really like this set up is jonetta mac. i'm retired but i can't make ends meet with my pension eyes. so that's why i'm out here, pipeline project trend and i'm really thankful god 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 fair wages t may be in, but it shouldn't give consumers a bad conscience. and that's why the berliners, on moral,

when bach and lay on 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 amy to achieve new positive things at was and i think that's what sets them apart as 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 of developed wanted. i'm often told things more work. and that was so appealing to me in trying things that aren't supposed to work out 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 more whole got in touch with you again who's cultivating 40 hacked hairs of fennel and that's just one of the flavors of our own models. new teeth 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 competition more money than he's nearing his goal, of producing t regionally gotten into the notation. of course, it's really an almost emotional experience because i know at some point things will be running like clockwork, bonham, and not so nice. so nature, ah, his positivity is contagious. the i plan for that he often caught 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 difference 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 our feelings. doesn't vomit in we had mucus gallons as 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 smithson doing that. 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 to day them on. on this one isn't him. if you're new to the business on your 1st check where you could get fennel elsis and that was through a vendor in egypt, then we approached the farm and they started supplying us in las vegas, but they were still ultimately located in asia and clayton. and then i thought it's all okay, but it will also grow here and brand number one, walk. and ever since then we've had brandenburg fennel here one little fancy ones.

they're still working out the final new t recipe. but wondering do, sir. nearby has committed to their experiment and they've had their share of failed attempts. so they have to stay focused i cannot, oh, of course things can go wrong as prompt and we won't know until we tasted as much. so there's always some tension on going and it's about to get hectic and hector, because everything has to be just right. so including the brewing targeted seats on puzzle besides fennel. the t mixture includes hibiscus, experiment, mateo, blackberry leaves, and nothing else where juicing machines used to make organic juices, there are now te, strainers with what an intense smell. 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 for one euro. 79. tears lighted slightly. a city from so that house make it really refreshing. i will go on to farm . 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 that he 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. and sustainability certifications. i've always been motivated and always taken learn learnings from those and come back and implemented that in delingo. india is 2nd only to china in te cultivation

and the country's potential is enormous. and plantation owner keaton. 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. or we felt obviously that this could be used for a benefit to create energy, whether it's pellets, whether it's composting food 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. 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 in wyman friendly, but the 2nd also is that it will also reduce might be production cost 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 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 beer, who la? if they come with this is for you to cook with you. it wasn't the book, the sufficient good of and 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 a new language and writing system, christina may hick quickly felt at home in georgia. i in 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. during did he changed ref?

i only he was very important back then. i get that the smell so good. who got honda is chase, was exported abroad. chinese chicago. we got bonuses and had great working condition and we have several of it working on the t 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. yeah, sure not a pension was our young from not recognize 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. totally doesn't want it to 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. so far

in the 1st year they harvested 10 kilos. and now in year for the expect 2 tons, 100 star pu 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 also like those machines like ready to put like a lot of these on things like forest like error installation and, and also be sometimes heat. so for example, run mistakes for us, like, well, with the current weather, maybe 15, all were to strength elworth that 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 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 off, because like if you like this mass market thirty's, they are sold in the global market, maybe $3.00, a killer, $40.00, a killer, only blocking cost for us like that. those ladies for 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 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. hey, 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 dd of gold con him put on his sister, you like cooking with this stove? roger obviously went but got the owner. nan i this drive 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 need 10 acne jack in the law 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 artist, new stove helps us send some money by selling the left over coals to the t. planned to ashley pack ran through our mission, notably and my family benefits from the additional income or quality that bush. my little paragraph keaton 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 companies that how dot soil is been developed in dom solve. what are link up as it is highly policy b and the ph window of the site. and we'll compare to with that each and every block. this is 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 a question of survival. that's the only way you can do organic in a competitive way and adding a long term perspective in terms of climate and, and bombing. there are thousands of t plantations in india, but climate visionaries like he tend 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 where people are basically buying car bartow for our plantation, like a small plots. and her po, 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 feel, for example, produce like 20 kilos of tease them the owner of this bud. 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 feel bush's surface kind of part, throw at them sir. and the feeling closer to nature. and they, 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 said, i thought it costs 75 euros to sponsor a bush or of and in exchange he receives 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, trenton without allah. mark nazarene via 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 vast, 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 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 of workers normally because really go kick out the middleman basically who usually take the money. so i hope

that this kind of system, that 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 they, in general, people with maybe consume less, let's consume, like more high quality and sustainable for a lot. you can do for a good cup of tea. ah, ah ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, with
