ah franklin oh, ready knows. welcome to take told me about hackers and 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. what, you know, on youtube, 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. 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. i 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 or 7 kills for they think them on to go to the other pro later a

aah! in western georgia, christina may hick from estonia and thomas cat leon us from lithuania, r reinventing te, production and getting a fresh start themselves. for 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, sir. old, it would be impossible to cut it, sir mechanically under this to leaves under but level if it goes mechanically, takes everything those sir. 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 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 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 they start to look like what has happened through the 17 georgia and they understood the collapse completely ready. 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, that doesn't sound like very 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 meetings, present point, presentation sentence and so on and so on. but i didn't have a feeling that they actually make something that would look 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 like, 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 kim said actually, and the other tea pickers are benefiting from the new organic tea idea. they worked on plantations as young women and their back at it again decade 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, a shift, dollar amount of money i said to watch. yeah, i really like this setup 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 until project 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. commercial material. 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 amy to achieve new positive things. that was, and i think that's what sets them apart as 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, so 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 legal and 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 i on moodle got in touch with your abuse, who's cultivating 40 hacked hairs of fennel and that's just one of the flavors of our own models. new teeth here, not for you, depending on what the weather allows. you can keep harvesting it for 3 or 4 years in a row, and it tastes good wishes one of them. 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 get up and not so nice. so nature, ah, his positivity is contagious. the i plan for that he often gotten 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. 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 lucas, kansas on low. 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 platinum. 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 melissa offensive owns 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 to and it's about to get hectic and hector, because everything has to be just right still including the brewing, targeted 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 with what an intense smell. my goodness, if i viscous. 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 failed attempt so far. all the 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 lighted slightly as 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 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 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 think and fi the output is slow. 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. but ethan is one of the grain alternative. it has an 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. you're lucky to le. let me look that this is for you to cook with you. it wasn't the book, the sufficient would 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 marcia kinser ashville 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 luck on that. her is chase, she was exported abroad a chinese sugar. we got bonuses and had great working conditions. we have several of it 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. yeah, sure not a pension was our young from not like a day 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 to garage guys of the diabetes we've only managed to make ends meet for his financial support. so a toilet us, i'm what it's whatever 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. one of the been so far in the 1st year they harvested 10 kilos. and now in year for the expect 2 tons, 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 could be forced to like those machines like ready booked, like a lot of these on things like forest like area of installation and, and also they sometimes heat. so for example, when ms. bates 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. it comes in the beginning of 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 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 were 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 our sam, 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. home in awesome 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 back 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 acne jack in the lobby 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 forever come by, 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, nevada, and my family benefits from the additional income. cody bag freshman little m f t 10. 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 atmosphere 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 competency how dog soil is been developed in terms of what are lingers. it is highly policy b and b, a general decide. and when compared with our each and every block is old with our 4 blocks, which is which one is giving them is better than their ambitious goal is to only consume with 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 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 people are basically buying co, bartow for our plantation, like a small plots and her full 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 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 bush's sir feel kind of part of it. 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 fillet, 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 thought i thought it costs 75 euros to sponsor a bush and 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 hard country without aller mark nazarene, via we could all pitch and to some extent and help food and drink businesses. take a look outside the city a bit. right. 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. i love 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 a full renovation. 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, who are usually take the the money. so i hope that this kind of

a 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 te, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, with
