in alaska that go easily for $30.00 and house, and that has to do with a huge push of the younger generation. looking for those special, the tease looking for our terminals. he's wanting to know the source, the story. and so what makes it, what makes it a luxury t like in your case? so our luxury cheese will be obviously hand crafted, not machine harvested. very rare. so as in rare is like it's hard to make or the seems anality is very short for that took, or that part of the t plants, it might be grown at a really high elevation. it might have other things that such as it needs to be set aside for a very small batch. and also that the, the demand is not that big. but those who do demand that to you, those who watch that t style like a dark ceiling law, which is from india. and then darjeeling is mostly black sheets. but we do have

a high end international award winning darjeeling law. that is about $30.00 an hour, and those who desire that you need labor from that country that specializes in black tea are willing to pay for that luxury items. and then you so much, jenny. so slipping streams to accompany and founder for your insights. and when we come back, we will discuss what country takes the lead in the world. leading producer consumer, an exporter of tea, will have more after the break. the lease of russian states never is as tight as one of the most sense community best. not getting all sun set up. the same assistance must be the one else calls question about this,

even though we will then in the european union, the kremlin machine, the state on russia rooting, s r t spoke back, keeping our video agency roughly all the band on youtube tv services for the question did you say it would put you on the

the good little by should the yeah or share was the it is a little nimble there, showing that the answer of the thing is let's see. shift don't cry and skim. funny mean, let's say that what was it g e o you follow up with them? are stuff i to list for cd to the

welcome back to the cost of everything. now let's take a look at china, who is the world's leading producer consumer, an export of t accounting for 44 percent of the world's total production. consumption and china in particular, has gone up hugely as well as india or bangladesh and turkey. however, china is not exporting as peace as it's domestic. consumers are willing to pay more for t's and consumers in the export markets. the price of green to export to, to the us with an average of $5.76 per kilo, as they're mainly on the lower end of the spectrum. in contrast, the standard range for 500 gram t is $10.00 to over a $1000.00. the most expensive to use in china can even reach up to $2800000.00.

the 10 china price is higher, the more ages similar to a bottle of scotch. dark keys are more difficult to make and takes a lot of time to age compared to green teeth. and the age tea leaves required delicate handling and storing as adding to the cost. some of the teas are also firm into the quality of team. these are also dependent on various factors such as the environment colt of ours cultural practices and processing techniques. in terms of culture, lars, chemical components, fermentation and processing techniques all come into play. the environment, climate and soil are also major factors that affect the quality of t of 500 grand t. average quality can be bought for about $20.00, but like the french and there was the chinese plays a huge emphasis on to our war or the taste of the sweat on the climate of where and when a t was produced, where it is grown matters,

and but it's simply higher altitude mean higher grade tease. for example, there are 19 varieties of rock t, which is a type of warranty from the we mountains in china, which are known for its terror war because of the aroma and the taste of the mountain farms cannot be compared with the rock piece from elsewhere. the cheapest rock to cost $30000.00 r n b, which is $4600.00 per half a kilogram. while the most expensive one would run about $5200000.00 r m b or 40 times the price of half a kilogram of gold. and they're also different brands of plants and used to grow the tea. for example, my personal favorite chick wine. yeah. or wait till they are no tours the hard to grow and have lower yields per tree. many growers try to pass off the bose and cold tavar, which has a higher yield and is a hardier plant then to one yet. while this qualified as a fake many people can't tell the difference. and the quantity of

t also affects its valuation. some types are sold in bulk all year long, and others are limited batched quantities, so they're more expensive. the time of harvest also matters as leaves picked in the morning, have a fresher grass here, taste and leaves pick between noon to early afternoon, which has the best price. finally, tease picked in the evening fetched less surprise, but more than the morning, the spring tease, fetch the best price followed by the autumn and the winter while the summer is the lowest grade. finally, production techniques also play a major role in the taste of tea. for top grade tease, they are hand picked, hand made, but the same tier one, you can also be a low grade when they are machine picked and machine rolled instead of being fixed and rattled by the master themselves. there are also certain techniques like we hi firing, and she core charcoal baking, and more that are only known by

a select few masters and command a big premium to and from wireless spring in and kevin guess on a officer of t's history type, war and fridays tiers so popular in asia, europe, africa, and the middle east about why is it not as popular in areas like the america? well, it's all to do is uh your p and trade. and you get around the world and in your up any way. africa, north africa is a south tre. groups going in the through mediterranean. they drink mostly, mostly chinese, green tea with maps and, uh, the middle east overlap, obviously, caravans and so on. but actually the us house has a big history with t. i mean, the american revolution stopped it a texas on c, so

a lot of people were drinking tea at that point. and even now, a norm as amount of americans drink ice too. so there isn't necessarily, is this thing from chris or the same style of making change about the us drinks a lot, a lot of tea in the front seat or what else? the biggest difference between agencies versus western tease. so yeah, in the, in the west there is a small limited pilot in general. if we took large scale, there's more of a limited pilot. so started with the previously because it's coming from so far away. they have a little bit of a different approach to the industry. so in china, for instance, um the industry is right there. it's growing in the country so everybody knows about it. they've been doing it for millennia. and all the tiny little details

of what's happening, season to season oh, i got into the valley to valley. and so it's easy for that information to circulate . and it's also something that is so inherent in people's lives that, that very sensitive to all the, all the ins and outs of the t industry and all the different styles. so there's a lot more open mind and the larger interest in most different styles of theater. when you travel in china, most people don't want it to the old time and don't have a favorite tea. but they do know about all the other styles as well. whereas as soon as you have to type log into it for the on the side of the will, you have to diminish the amount of information and offers that you can bring. for when it arrives in north america, for instance. um, you will have

a few to basic types diminish because they're not dealing with a population that knows all about it. so you simplify it into simple tons and then maybe if you want to have a board or another collection, you start flavoring it with different things. it's just a slight is because we're on the other end of the input shade. we don't, we don't necessarily have all that information that goes into living that source. so for us, when we buying fancy chinese to use, for instance, main competitors of the chinese, the chinese volume, well their own good stuff. which is very good for the, to the industry over that because it pushes the quality. because that, you know, even the people at home are expecting you to do better. that's totally get all the products these. whereas that you go to the population countries in the population, countries, things are all made for exports. so that they may,

can get into of it into those very limited flavors that are going to be used for next. don't obviously the low cost of our lives. the next have a total of stories where this isn't the case loads of exceptions, but i'm just looking at the general overall pitch. and where do you see the future of t headed towards and we'll try to continue to dominate the teen market. china has the advantage this amazing domestic market advantage as does taiwan and japan. so these and korea, so these countries that have this great culture really have take advantage of pushing advancement. the other countries, most for compensation countries, a sort of gradually ceiling gradually bringing in the speciality and seasonal manufacturing techniques from

most countries. so we see we have fantastic to use up in m last because they have to grow in conditions that then they time if they're good enough, we can refine the manufacturing techniques to wait and they will cost to use that stand on the same show for us to talk tiny stuff but so that i think we're going to see probably i don't think we're going to see a big expansion of growing see in any of the more wealthy countries, it's too complicated isn't too expensive. i think it probably going to see the quality improving in existing certain countries. i think we're going to see quality improving in africa. i'm quality improving in a set central issue as well. my community. i think that will be the same. yeah,

i think it will be the same countries that are going to even in south america, they going to teen south america. that goes on to the right. we have to hear about that because most of this, the project to americanize to but even down the, the, they will be a, i think that will be in a trickle down effect from the speciality to industry, which really pushes the boundaries. this brings in a certain amount of operational connection to the lee from the manufacturing process and the subtleties of manufacture. and then i think that will trickle down into the main the main market. because the speciality teams have this aspirational quality. and you know, that's, that's the ones that do all the sexy stuff. and so the main lodge market, they want to use that fascination and interest to inject some of it

into the around problem. well, hi entities ever be accepted on an international scale like french wines, orwell is continue to for solely in the domestic market. uh, no, i think it was. i think it already used as a, i mean we work and not seen. so we see that all the time, so we probably think it's bigger than that. it's if you go down to the streets of new york city and ask people just type it in law, we probably probably get a small percentage, but they stuck another throwing out in the business for over 30 years with definitely seen a big change. it surprising how many people now do not want any longer to wouldn't of 10 years ago. and then each generation, you have the parents explode. we have for people exploring that to you. they become parents and then the children grow up with that knowledge that not exists that the real know they drink kid. so gradually to face the base knowledge. those are

just sort of ironic when you think it's been here. it's been around for so long. the speciality t comes in a different channel slightly as a bit. so they have more like coming through the food channel like the older toys and assaults and so on. but we now have separate logs in the kitchen. and it's also coming to the health channel, which he wasn't sold as a house product before it was just a grocery thing that came with flour and sugar. and also just this. he a little, the origin thing searching for origin. very fascinated about whether stuff comes from now. so see how some of those things a thank you so much. kevin goes gone yet officer to tease history. tell. 7 varieties consumers continue to drink tea in order to ease the stress, relax calm and center themselves and 14,

and 5 consumers drink tea with millennials. now being the most likely, more than 87 percent of millennials reported drinking t as they are more health conscious. and reset research have explored the potential health attributes of teeth through the studies and humans, animals and in vitro. it suggests that t n t flab a noise may play a role in reducing heart disease and stroke, lowering the risk of skin cancer slowing the progression of age related neurological declines and diseases like dementia and have a positive long term effect on diabetes management. there is also research validating peace ability to boost immune systems as well. so the winters here are the consumers, especially those in the western world who are now increasing their share of t consumption. i'm christy, i thanks for watching and we'll see you back here next time on the cost of everything the

same just don't have to shape house because the application and engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves will support, we choose to look for common ground, the a rushing vase that means tanks or troops crossing the border race again we, there will be no longer we, we will they wanted to change the situation where

western europe is dependent upon the russian guess to a situation well, western europe is dependent on n g a. m, or you can guess, and that's it. they did each actually face to be, you create a new one the. so here we are in, it says in post energy prices, which leads to the immigration of companies, less industry. and this is just the continuation of the nato o best the website most showing that called bush is divided, giving in the same way as the sub is in the same way as the row you got some time we is that of the problem most by the boys, obviously, jack, that is the watson has sent me, is that all c i use means that we are in st.

petersburg and the capital of washing ballet. preserving the plastic card and the touring model into the mix. the city continues to define culture that the rest is foreign minister is in south africa for a meeting with his briggs counterparts, the head of the organization summit in order to process victoria consideration legislation run thing, and unit c from the international criminal court for all participants citing the parties pub, double number, the gun didn't students protest the us presidents decision to sanction the country if it introduces a sprint to the empty l g b t, we discuss the issue of western interference in foreign affairs with a tunnel cas reply button told the own adult to brothers enough for supply use that to the west has to be to pay for to do was very about

a meeting of bricks, foreign ministers, local authorities, a. they are considering a change in the law in order to protect guess expect about the organizations summit in august. now that would include granting immunity to russian president vladimir putin. the i, c. c has issued on the arrest warrant against a body pretoria has criticized for its political double subject in june. we will be submitting a lower in parliament which will layouts exemptions of who to arrest and who not to arrest. we never sold that. the i c. c that we have today will be what it is. they never indicted tony blair. they never indicted george w bush for the killings of a rocky people. never would have said that the an equality, the inconsistency by the i. c. c is a problem, and there is a political order of the geo political complication regarding the attendance of the russian president, blogging, or pushing on the liter summit in august because of the court

order issued by the international criminal court in connection with the charge of forcibly removing children from your plan, this is a charge brought up of by the i c. c against the russian president. now russia itself is not a signatory to that uh, organization. but uh, south africa is formerly speaking. it has to comply with the orders of the board, but that issue in and of itself has become a very called internal political issue in south africa. so we're, you have to wait and see what's going to happen that here. but whether or not liking that will be present here physically is still an open question. here's what he's spokesperson, have to say on the topic. russian attributes, great importance to the development of this integrated format and will take part in this summit at the appropriate level. as a bare minimum,

we're counting on partner countries within such an important format not to be guided by such a legal decisions. regardless of the intricacies of south african politics. moscow will consider this and its options very carefully on its own. one of the things that said the level of trust as he was touring across africa in the preparation for this son. and then the says, i have to say this for us, stop on his door. he said that the russia wants to be a productive member of both the brakes and the international community. what it's interested in a practical results that they think that south africa, people for it's presidency that we should last throughout the year of 2023 is bricks and africa partnership for mutually accelerated growth, sustainable development, inclusive multilateralism. and this last race inclusive multilateralism is particularly important because the world has been separated previously. but there

was separated service that between the 2 ideological blocks during the cold war. but now it's under the under the food of the so called western dominance. uh and the problem for, for that the problem at around that for many developing countries is not political . it's how to run their own government, them government, and how to run and provide services to the people accessible. go in cape tugwell, you to active this plan, african scholar mislabeled freedom, the meaning. so he's the i, c. c has abuse, disposition by meddling in political affairs on western demands will be equity. this or they see these by us and you use the same as i wrote it. so i'll be your coordinates because ok, and even the, the most,

it's the quote. it's mondays. all we can do should be in all the different components. the cost was the problem is to because that's so that's me got, is the subordinates of mental or just the needs of the units bratia. he's our friend is not our friends today. he's was not afraid to use the. there's been oh for, for the top. russia as been all the way towards north north question, when people kind of why, why don't it to associate with what keeping attention on the continent you've done that. and students have been protesting us presidential biden's threat to impose some controversial anti l. g. b. t lol. the uganda and government saves the

phil is a into protecting family values on the countries. traditions, culture, students sell, banners, demanding that you've done this themselves, decide their own destiny without outside involvement. us the here stays, washington will evaluate the new uganda and bill on take action if necessary. the shameful act is the latest development in an alarming trend of human rights abuses and corruption. in uganda, i've directed my national security council to evaluate the implications of this law on all aspects of us engagement with uganda. and we considering additional steps including the application of sanctions and restriction of entry into the united states against any one involved in serious human rights abuses or corruption. a uganda is far from the only country whose internal affairs are under scrutiny from western leaders. the french foreign minister last week said syrian president bashar assad is the enemy of his own people and should be put on file on the issue of the

west, forcing its own values on independent nations, particularly in the global side. we welcome the thoughts on the gas pedal. when we talk about w stands as when we talk about head gemini, when we talk about impression, then you talk about those false values that the west has to be the ph and throughout the world verbally. but on the ground, it's complete the, the other way around. so, what we have seen the politicization of the i, c j, the international court of justice, one day they want to bring the president boynton to try out. today. they want to bring the president as after syria has been admitted to the ad. i believe i'm president. that was this thought of the so the 2nd summit in jet the few days back now, they want to bring him to justice. this is mcclung differentially, the whose own country has been cut and they've got the fee. oh,

cool fight divided libya. but it takes about sticking in the occupation of that i and the hanging of it's the, the so dumb jose and whether you like him or not. these are 2 independent countries which what and they did by western people, including across it's kind of clash off saturday. i just as a national dentist from the people of fuel guns that are presented in the president must have a me and they had a problem. and as i said, the end of f o to because they're defiant, just to, uh, take care of the family and protect the somebody from walk. so full the new shape. so finally i called and for the gender thing series and tra, unfortunately, which is read over the western countries out there, not to states. and we see of the full spots have been present plates, either one of the copying the got charged and it's it's, it's a big mistake. so i'm the worst part samples. because if i'm like a host and you are a guest, the gift, i'm not going to gauge the codes of ethics to the host, which is a kind of uh,

violate, think it'd be interesting to know. i'm things like that. there is no logic in, in the less than attitude towards the side of the world countries. and the countries that threatens the dominance of the world in the block that economically threatens the head too many of the west and the us dollar, such as the breaks or any other uh, or asian, your asian, uh, uh, economic that platforms is being automatically attacked to select tons and undermined by your washington and its allies. and what do you think about the search has already been full, is to invite shots and you buy on the, on, on china, on the other countries after the, i'm not too much and we've their own the gemini, as my central, i'm serious said before. nothing. i, i live with someone you know, shooting his own speech, receive a i'm.
