a large markets for hires, especially boutique cheese, are hand harvested. but for everyone else who's drinking tea in large amounts, especially with these tea beverages such as chromebooks show or ice teas or hard seltzer cheese that are trending right now. they're going to need innovation to keep up with demand in those other types of beverages industries. and t is considered a commodity in large countries such as india, china, africa. but there is a large population to feel that need. so i think there's a good, a partnership of innovation with technology, but they're still going to be a demand for those high end boutique to use that people are willing to spend the money for. and i believe that a industry is very similar to the wine industry, but for most winds, the majority of winds are like under $20.00. what about t? what is the average price point for t?

is it even seen as a luxury good in many parts of the world? and i see she as a luxury good for those non t producing countries, like in the u. s, there are t growers and t farmers here, but those teas will be very expensive because of the labor and it's not a nationally t producing country. but the price is a t will be much less expensive on average in countries such as india, china, africa. and because they're creating high volumes of tea. and it's also, you know, the mindset is considered as a commodity because everyone's everyday drinking beverage, right. but for those who wants to buy loosely tease higher quality, i would say the average price would be about $10.00 for $2.00 to $4.00 ounces. but

then you have this huge jump for those luxury style p is because we add something streams easily. so to use that are $30.00 announce, so that's all or $500.00 us dollars a pound that we have several different p, some from africa, some from india. some that we grow here 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 beauties looking for artisan old. 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 fees will be obviously hand crafted, not machine harvested, very rare. so as in rare is like it's hard to make or the scenes anality is very short for that took, or that part of the t plants, it might be growing that are really high. our vision. it might have other things

that such as it needs to be set aside for a very small batch. and also that's the, the demand is not that big, but those who do demand that to you, those who watch that t style like a garbage ceiling law, which is from india. and then darjeeling is mostly black cheeks. 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 item. thank you so much, jenny. so slipping streams to company 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 as one of the most sense community invest in most all sense and up the must be the one else holes. question about this, even though we will then in the european union, the kremlin machine, the state on process to day and supports the r t smooth neck. even our video agency, roughly all the band on youtube, the payment services for the question, did you say steven, twist, which is the

good to buy the yes or share it? cuz i remember they're showing up on sort of thing is the most let's see for sure. don't cry and skim orange or funny magazine. let's see. what was the g t the money you owe you follow up with almost the frontier list for cvt the

welcome back to the cost of everything. now lets take a look at china, who is the world's leading producer consumer, an exporter of tea, 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 tease 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 was 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. i can even reach up to $2800000.00.

but and china price is higher. the more ages similar to a bottle of scotch, dar tease or 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 boring as adding to the cost. some of the teas are also ferment it of the quality of the team. these are also dependent on various factors such as the environment cult 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. 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. they're also different breeds of plants used to grow the t. for example, my personal favorite tick one year or waynesville. they are know towards the hard to grow and have lower yields per tree. many growers try to pass off the function code tavar, which has a higher yield, and there's

a hardier plan to then to one yet. while this qualifies 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 to your taste than these picked between noon early afternoon, which has the best price. finally, tease picked in the evening fetched less surprise, but more than the morning, the spring tease fetched 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 tick when you t 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 the we

high firing, and she core charcoal baking, and more that are only known by a select few masters and command a big premium. and from our let's bring in and kevin guess on a officer of t's history, type, war and fridays tiers. so popular in asia, europe, africa, in the middle east about why is it not as popular in areas like the america? well, it's all to do is a, your a p and trade unions around the world and in your up any way. uh, african north africa is, uh, uh, uh, south tre groups going and 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 has had a big history with t. i mean, the american revolution stopped it over texas on c. so

a lot of people were drinking tea at that point. and even now a norm as amount of americans drink iced to so there isn't necessarily is this thing from chris or the same style of making to but 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 more 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 that the industry is right there, it's growing in the country. so everybody knows about. they've been doing it for

millennia. and all the tiny little details of what's happening, season to season? no, i got into the valley to valley. and so it's easy for that information to circulate . and it's also something that isn't so inherent in people's lives that they're very sensitive to all the, all the ins and outs of the tea industry and all the different styles. so there's a lot more open mind and the larger interest in multi different styles of theater. when you travel in china, most people don't want to tv all the 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 locate her to the on the side of the will, you have to manage the amount of information and offers that you can bring for when

it arrives in north america, for instance. um, you'll have a few to basic types diminished 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 more than other collection, you stop flavoring it with different things. there'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 it source. so for us, when we buying sensory chinese to use, for instance, main competitors to chinese, the chinese by all their own good stuff. which is very good for the industry over that because it pushes the quality. because that, you know, even the people at home are expecting it to the best of, totaling in all the products these. whereas that you go to the population countries

in the conversation countries, things are all made for exports. so that they may to get into that into those very limited flavors that are going to be used for next. now obviously the low cost of our lives ethics have a total of stories where this isn't the case slosik sections, 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 in japan. so these and korea, so these countries that have this great culture really have take advantage of pushing advancement. the other countries, most of our conversation countries, a sort of gradually ceiling gradually bringing in the

speciality and traditional manufacturing techniques from most countries. so we see we have fantastic to use up in, in the last interest. they have to grow and conditions that then they time if they good enough, i can refine the manufacturing techniques to wait and they will cost to use that stand on the same shelf as the top chinese stuff. but so that i think we'd want 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 they probably going to see the quality improving an existing seed countries. i think we're going to see quality improving in africa on quality, improving in such central issues as well. my community. i

think this will be the same. yeah. i think it will be the same countries that are going to even in south america, they grow emergency in south america. that goes on to the right. we haven't hear about that because most of this, the project to americanize to but even down the, the, they will be a, i think they were being a trickle down effect from the speciality to industry, which really pushes the boundaries. this brings in a certain amount of autism or 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. you know that, that ones that do all the sexy stuff. and so the main lodge market, they want to use that fascination and interest to inject some

attention to the problem. well, hi, entities ever be accepted on an international scale like french wines, orwell. this continued to, for solely in the domestic markets, you know, i think it was, i think it already is. there's a, i mean, we work in not saying so we see it up all the time. so we probably anticipated that . it's if you go down to the streets of new york city and ask people if they've got a tablet and long you probably, you probably get a small percentage, but they stuck another drawing. i've been in business for over 30 years. i've definitely seen a big change it surprising how many people now do not want any longer. you 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 their own, they drink it. so gradually to face the face knowledge grows,

which is sort of ironic when you think it's been here, it's been around for so long. the speciality t comes in a different channels like me, it's a bit so big and more like coming through the food channel like the all the oil was and assaults and so on. but we now have separate loaves 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. so he a little, the origin thing searching for origin, very fascinated about where the 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 bar variety consumers continue to drink tea in order to ease 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 has explore 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 winners here are the consumers, especially those in the western world who are now increasing their share of t consumption. christy, i, thanks for watching and we'll see you back here next time on the costs of

everything the, the, the stays, russian falls is repelled. 3 at fox volume when the minutes is in the rush in belgrade region today. as they tried to cross the border, a comes as a civilians are wounded the town nearby. but it's heavy shells. light keeps slid, 3 crosses something different. let me sit in the south african, i filed a count of boxes and came down as if on minutes a seat to further strengthen tie the head on to the brick summit. such a thing placed in over. also head the, the, the, you gotta see those roads,

us us financial aid to the ideas that have jo, button president, suspension come. paula if introduces i'm time t l g p t lot. we discuss the issue with them and defense in the global south pilot . i'm guess pre qual, i'm putting called the old adult t values are not for the values the to the west has to be the preaching through all to the world verbally, but on the ground, it's completely the other way around. aside from their precious concepts, each one of these monks is a history that the rates the painstaking universe on the past. it's colors in generating science and also you get is inclusive love in. so i do ron's office. i'm could minute step library home to one of the oldest most complete versions of the code on the

why the from las go. this is on. see you. my name is ron. i'm in 30 minutes of news and views. so now there was a defense and if he says, a group of ukrainian medicines attempting a terrorist attack have been pushed back from their brushing plane. both of those agents across into the boulder road region. officials say more than 30 minutes since i've been killed by russian forces. so i know the name is here with is just a few cleaning service formations consisting of 2 motorized, infantry companies, reinforced with tangs attempted to invade the area of nova at temple junk. and the ship back in the international automobile check point. the enemy suffered significant losses and was driven back over the violations of the state border were prevented because as a civilians were wounded in a town of a said big keynote, also on so as a, a civilian a problem building quote file for the showing where the house also set a blaze also being directly hit several other residential building with damaged by

shrapnel and dozens of cause completely destroyed, showing of the town by the finding that she has been ongoing for several days now. with at least one civilian killed, a dozen small wounded, largest phone. i mean, if you say that rove is in cape town, where he's amazing with his indian in south africa, and that'll be cancelled on the folks will help them is the main thing over the breaks for minutes is receiving the summit of a group scheduled for all this, this year the organization is coming together and expanded format. the assignment. move praise bye, must go to get more on this story. this goes live as all the correspondent i'm with home start. i great to see you. so what does this mean thing of rick? so this is mean football disciplines and for the world. uh well, uh, let me uh start bars, things of the south african coast to attach

a lot of symbolic significance to that choice has been used because we are here all how far away from keeps town and no far away from the cape of good hope a place where the oceans easy, then that's why i suppose to me, but it's also a place where 500 cities, 5 years ago for to use it for a virtual m u d s. phone opened up actually, and you trade away from europe you easily and find the keep of the corpus may like that because of all the great bass told that bryce positive that's with the new trading way. and this is a good metaphor for what the brakes members are trying to achieve. 2 of 5, you then use to find new patterns, ways of trading with one another and to show themselves from the so called community to common need the use of global economy by one particular country, a group of countries and a lot of discussions of focus on that today you know how to,

you will continue trading with one another. how to send their job development without being penalized for that. mutual calibration, something dot, the number of western countries wants to do with regards to not only russia, but also china, then israel, iran and a number of african countries. now this attraction of breaks. uh, you know, the fact that these grouping is primarily focused on practical cooperation on how to create added values, the added value, the benefit, the peoples of all those countries, rather than being and your political for these attractions. nope. lost on the many other members of the international community, and as you pointed out at it is taking place in the 6th round, its warm up around 15 countries. i think tenzing a number of them having a rough,

formal desire to join the scar this uh, organization. and in fact uh earlier i spoke to the uh, south african sharp uh, from brick center side. that's one of the main topic discussion of this kind of around is the criteria that will be applied to new members. now i also had a chance to speak to a rushes deputy for administer. so get it pulled up and sent that russia is very active in the end those discussions and believes that at least for most of the being christ here is whether or not the prospective bricks members are apply unilateral sanctions against other members of international community. russia believe that the only sanctions that are legal are those that are passed by the united nation, and it wants to make sure that the brakes also adopt these criteria. here's exactly what's to get it pulled. precious deputy for administer have to stay on the subject . we welcome anesha. do both valve ever been chest should have invited

a great number of important to flash all countries to the media to meeting we invest in 2 rigs, holes, police go, we will, and practical reading this to be there where things happen. a note here as a gig and a co precious deputy for administer. speaking about the practical hands on the re station of these, i would think briggs doesn't want to be a rhetorical hockey shop is, wants to be an organization with new methods, new trading in developing ways are being developed. and as you mentioned before, uh, a number of countries are interested in that one very just see you some point this out here. read. yeah. earlier today use of the level, press 4 and that is the math with you solve the problems are part. and so if you are ready is not formally a member of greek,

so the goal is officially applied for the membership in this organization. and the reason why this is so interesting is because knowing that we still f tonchee us ally, but it trades with china in the china springs you on it also indeed, just buried openly with russia within the apex last form of and it's great. the opening not being the american pressure, so for many brief countries. ringback it's an important example, all depends in silver and self interested, foreign policy. this is something that they, they really want to bring not only to international relations, political relations, but also economic global economy to make sure that you know, like the oceans that belong to all of us rather a particular group of countries. now maybe the issues will be the cost of the leaders briggs climate in august. and i'm sure you

know, there is quite a political controversy associated with it when it comes to like to get put in russian present, attending this meeting because, or earlier this year, the international criminal 4th to shoot an arrest warrant for his arrest in relation with the charges of look, so typically fully removing children to perform the frame. that's why the russian hill signature into the i see the south africa is and there's quite a controversy now at the base of the century. what should be done uh, in relation to that yours exactly. was one of the south african officials who had to stay on to something in june. we will be submitting a lower in parliament which will layouts exemptions of who to arrest and who not through 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 the rocky people. mandela would have said that the inequality, the inconsistency by the i. c. c. is

a problem that i think the special mentioning nelson mandela's legacy is quite important. or because nelson mandela was known for highlighting the double standards, the people standards that exist within the international system that have long existed there. and you always was a strong supporter. all of these kind of philosophy of choosing your international partners based on by lecture basis rather than under pressure from somebody else. now south africa actually has a precedent of uh, define the i see the rules. i think it was back in 2015 when i was when i refuse to the teen former student needs leader. omar bashir was attending a conference here in indiana 4 in 2015 and was allowed to do so without any errands. but what is going to happen and he's.
