Tea: New ideas for the world‘s second most popular drink | DW Documentary

- After water, tea is the most-consumed beverage in the world. The latest trend for this traditional drink? Sustainable tea, produced affordably and without the use of pesticides, in a climate-neutral way, under fair working conditions.
What happened to the tea of our childhood? That’s the question Balts Tomas Kaziliunas and Hannes Saarpuu asked themselves four years ago. Before the fall of the Iron Curtain, Georgia supplied all of Eastern Europe with tea. And no wonder: the climate in that country is ideal for tea cultivation.
Tomas and Hannes traveled to Georgia - and stayed. They leased an overgrown tea plantation. It had lain fallow for 30 years, because Georgian tea production collapsed along with the Soviet Union. Now, the two adventurers are building an ecological tea plantation. And anyone can become a "co-farmer" online.
Aron Murro, Sven Bock and Leon Franken are also tea lovers. They’ve christened their start-up "KarmaKollektiv." The young founders want to produce tea and tea beverages as sustainably and healthily as possible. "I'm often told it won't work. And that's motivation enough for me to make it work," says Aron.
In the Indian state of Assam, plantation owner Ketan Patel is working on making his Jalinga Tea Garden completely CO2-free. He has a good idea of what this will take: After all, he has been growing his tea organically here for the last 17 years. Instead of coal, he now burns pellets made from plants. His next ambitious goal is zero-waste: "Everything that grows on the farm will also be used."

I drink tea daily and after watching this I will be more grateful with every cup !! 🙏
Reason why I quit drinking soda 7 years ago. I found the taste , the benefits and sustainability of tea to be an important part of my health.
It's 22:23 here in Nairobi Kenya 🇰🇪 and I'm enjoying my cup of Kericho gold tea
I bursed into tears at the end of the program. One for the happiness that slowly we are doing what we can to save the earth, two, wondering if more farmers were going to adopt this method. This was a great documentary❤
Thanks for watching!
Thanks DW for pushing alternative issue in their documentary, great work from the production team!
DW Documentaries are intelligent...fact finded and hardworked. Its my National Geographic of the digital times.
Well put!
NG has been bought out by Disney and went downhill ever since. I’ll take DW over it any day of the week.
Thank you DW
@@kovy689 yes very much. I agree.
Their political news pretty much fake news
I drink tea for the past 21 years. Very healthy & relaxing to my body. Thanks to tea farmers of China, Japan, India, Pakistan, Turkey and Iran ~ I drank all of their premium black/green teas in 21 years!
Did you drink tea from tropical country; Indonesia?

I'm enjoying my cup of Ceylon's tea here in Poland... and I would be more than happy to drink an European tea, eg. the Georgian one.
always amaze me DW great documentary
Wow! I love this! Tea drinker here!! 🙏🎉
DW Documentary never dies ;)
Next time when doing a documentary regarding tea, come to Kenya 🇰🇪 so that you can witness and see handworking farmers and well maintained tea estates
Loved the documentary, and lucky to say I have visited many tea gardens of Assam, Darjeeling , Tripura etc . Have meet Mr K P too . Great knowledge and information and facts about the tea gardens.
With Love from SAM
Guwahati Assam INDIA 🙏🍵🌱
DW Team, keep creating quality content like that and may you become BBC of the coming era. Regards from Uzbekistan 🇺🇿
Me: that's so sad they work so hard. But get less money
Also me: *PROCEEDS TO DRINK 4 CUPS OF TEA A DAY*
Watching this in the middle of doing my assignment while drink a cup of Indonesian hot tea. Love the documentary
I don’t know how they have the guts to uproot themselves from their homelands and decide to be a tea farmer lol

WE ALL LOVE TEA!!?🍵☕ In Kenya 🇰🇪, EVERY TIME IS TEA TIME.
In short,gatubia gatubia gatubia 😂😂😂
I should try Kenyan tea. Enjoy!
It's a pretty interesting documemtary, for sure. Thanks DW.
very charming... Indonesia🇲🇨♥️ is also one of the areas with fertile tea plantations
They dont know Indonesia. They only know Bali.
Very interesting! Great documentary
This "documentary" sounds more like an advert for this brand of tea rather than an actual documentary on tea production.
On the contrary, all kinds of brand logos etc were excluded so it would not be an advertisement :)

I drink a cup of decaffeinated green tea each night. Good stuff. 🍶

I love tea
I've planted my yard with all sorts of herbs, fruits trees, etc. Permaculture gardens and local production of everything that will grow in your biome is the key. If we can get global trade concentrated on crops that grow substantially better in other regions - coffee, carob - and get so-called industrial regions to also farm, we might get organic farming and wildlife protection to go hand in hand.
Simply beautiful 👏🏻
Greetings from Romania. I'm actually drinking fennel right now.

Nice concept & effort by the couple farmers but please pay your tea pickers more than 20 Euros per shift because they are doing a back braking job for you.

When the scene shifts from India to Georgia, for a little while I remain in a state of confusion whether it is Indian tea plantation or of Georgia.
I think this documetary is really good, Bangladesh has lot of tea state also many tea picker depend on tea state becouse more than two hundreds tea state in our country.
tea is 💓
tea lovers unite!
There are several tea plantations along the Bukit Barisan mountain range in Sumatra island, Indonesia.
I thought the thumbnail was Keith richards for a second
• *free trade*
• *fair trade*
Hats off to Ketan Patel!!🫡
Sustainable♥️

In the USA we have CSA’s that are helping small farmers to grow organic crops. This helps them with a better price for their crops and helps the consumer with a local organic product. When you cut out the middle man it really makes a huge difference.
Unfortunately some farmers are using this to charge huge prices for the products that local people can not afford
Not exactly why they are more costly, but think what you want! (Try feeding a chicken organic feed or buying Neem Oil & Sluggo for the same price as cracked GMO corn, or Sevin!)
@@ICU-mw7su I understand it to a point. Some of them in my area are gouging people that are trying to eat healthy. I don’t think that the cost of organic should be 10x the cost of non organic. I know what it cost to raise organic foods I currently have 30 chickens and am growing a garden using worm compost tea and chicken compost from the coop I also have priced horse manure that is not full of wormers and mixed with clean pine chips and straw. The cost are not nearly as expensive as people want to charge. They are not cheap. But they are doable. Even double the price is more fair but they are pricing way too many out of the market. I also order from azure standard for staples and have told many people about them for the price it is comparable to the grocery stores except the meat eggs and milk products. Unfortunately those are the most gmo products in the grocery stores.
@@Mindy56743 If you would sell your product you'd have several additional costs compared to now. I don't know the details for the US but certification isn't free. To sell organic food the whole process must be documented and controlled to make sure the claim is authentic and then there's the general costs of running a business etc.
@@jessicaandersson4313 I totally get that. For me the organic label is not important if I know where it comes from.
@@Mindy56743 Yeah, but unfortunately selling at the local market isn't enough for most farmers and when they branch out they need the certification to justify their higher prices which unfortunately makes the prices go up even more.
One month later Kristina discovers harvesting Cannabis and never went back to tea 😮
watching while sipping my puer tea I got from Yunnan, China. Tea is the best!

Niceeee 🥰🥰🥰
China has the oldest tea bushes in the world. Many of its premium teas don't get exported out because it is in high demand at home.
not DW documentary calling tea the 'second' most popular drink in the world xD
From the Marketing expert to the tea plantation collector 👍 German career path 😂

When I saw the preview picture I thought it was Keith Richards.
👍😊
Thought the woman in the thumbnail at 0:07 was Keith Richards.
Good thing is we now have the technology to bridge this gap. Wow ai certainly can pick leaves. Now anyways
This tea in Assam is hogging critical rhino habitat.
Ok the older woman makes 20 euro per day and that’s supposed to be at least minimum wage? Seems low..
My thought exactly how is that a fair wage? That’s only 120 weekly. It’s like making 2.5-3.3 euros an hour depending on if they work 6 or 8 hour shifts.
Tea is also nutritious.
💜🍵👍🏿🙋🏾♀️

Tea. It's a weird drink. A taste you can't describe yet it was Britain that made tea vital for our nation & it's a life saver in body & mind in 2 world wars, that & cigarettes unfortunately.
Sri Lanka we have high quality tea
👍👍👍👍✅✅✅✅✅
I support this because they are doing ethical procedures instead of mechanical products and instead of using pesticides and insecticides they go about it the natural way. Wish west would go about this way. Be conscious about their damage. But that will never happen because they are driven by capitalism to turn out $$.
You could support people who are trying on a small scale instead of buying from the industry standard companies & griping...just a suggestion!
I love it too babe
Turks are the biggest tea consumers in the world, also the biggest minority in germany so it makes sense.
😘🌟😘
So what's the world's most popular drink? Coffee I guess?
Coffee yes
Tea May be, Coz it’s widely consumed in India and China, 2 of the most populous countries…
1st water
2nd tea
3rd …
1st price makes sense because water is big part of our body system.
Iranian Railroad ?
"I hope people can consume less". I'm not sure that is what many governments are hoping...
?????????
Oh, they are...and Klaus Schwab expects you to be happy with it! 🤬
There is a massive difference between being considerate and caring. if you do not understand the difference maybe look the words up....kmt Being considerate costs nothing but at least it sets a better example for others.....this world could do with more of that,,,,,,, ,FACT
This looks like food for elite.
4-7 USD per kilo is max in India.
Affordability for common people is important.
One more key point missed in this documentary is , Indian labour laws provide free medical security, Indian state and central government provides food security and many other incentives.
Indian labour laws are not enforced. You can just pay the labour commissioner to keep his mouth shut and continue with exploiting the poor.
More and more large scale mono crops!
The tea plantations have been here for 60-80 years, so we did not acquire any new land to plant the tea. We also do try to keep the biodiversity as rich as possible on the plantation :)
@@renegadeteaestate7528 thank you for your response. I do wish you well in your endeavors and I am happy to hear about your biodiversity. But seeing these vast swaths of just one crop is troublesome to me. I see what planting just corn, wheat or onions for example, on a large scale, has done to our soil and ecosystem here in the United States and it greatly saddens me.
Actually Dw tea is originated from china .first middle Eastern country import it. Tea is our daily life .Besides Indonesia and Africa best known for its coffee and tea. So i hope you gonna mention also this in your news.
Second? You mean most favorite instead of that dirt water?
People working on a field for 20eu per shift.. and they sell the product 100× the price. Shame on you.
20 euros in Georgia is a lot of money.
First of all, we do not sell our products 100x the price, but if you are interested in what else is behind the prices of our teas, besides salaries, then we are happy to explain :) Transparency is one of the cornerstones of our doings, so we are glad to share this information.
You think everything should be a Co-op, Comrade? Maybe just label yourself as an Communist so we don't waste time reading your propaganda?!
I am tea lover. But tea in Europe tastes like a shit- no quality- I am telling this to you as an caucasian. We have really better quality tea in our region
Sri Lankan we have high quality tea
they should be paying Royalty to the Asian.
Wth 😅
I think God would get that royalty! SMH
😂😂😂😂Comfort zelensky ❤️with these words ,,👍👍
Peter says us to invent or invite sufferings so that we live holy ,,he says it ( suffering,) is good
I never believed a salvation experience,,I argued that living a christian life is enough ,,
I went through lot of persecutions,,no support,no encouragements,no comfort ,no brotherhood,,no help from church or family members ,,
So I said,,,
2 corinthians 1
Verses ,3and 4 is a big lie,,😁😁😁😁
:-God of All Comfort
3 (F)Blessed be the (G)God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and (H)God of all comfort, 4 (I)who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
But once after many trials with bible verses finally one verse in Romans touched me to have belief upon God ,,
Romans 2:9
There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile;
This verse of God was encouraging me because no gentile God will allow enjoy the world ( in real case without christ a man is dead body ,,so they can not enjoy a real blessing what God set as super ,,😁😁😁)
So after I surrenderd to God ,,
After several times I am getting a feel of God speaking to me with a verse very much comforting ,,
But recently I myself fought a big problem of my tenant a muslim ,I saved him from a my sister's husband,,
It was a brave work,
After God comforted me with a verse ,Philippines 1:-20 I eagerly expect(AE) and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage(AF) so that now ,,,,,as always,,,,, Christ will be exalted in my body,(AG) whether by life or by death.
God's comfort was like a Honey ,,but few days after again I got fear ,,
This time God gave me a permanent comfort ,,verse it is
1 Peter 4
4 Therefore, since Christ suffered in his body,(A) arm yourselves also with the same attitude, because whoever suffers in the body is done with sin.(B) 2 As a result, they do not live the rest of their earthly lives for evil human desires,(C) but rather for the will of God.
We CHRISTIANS are like elephants we can bear any sufferings,,
So we must invent sufferings and allow them in to our life ,,
So every time when you get a suffering,,it may be insults ,,but say it is for good ,,it is not enough,,
You want more of it ,,😁😁😁
Now you can go even to hell ,
You can manage the situation anywhere,,🙏🙏🙏
God bless you for your attitude! I wanted to make sure you know- Hell was only created for Satan...God wishes none would go. You have accepted Christ as your savior, so the only suffering you will endure will be on Earth with us sinners. I'm sorry other Christians did not stand up and help in your times of need! We all are called to help our neighbor, and especially will be compelled in that if we have suffered the same and kept the faith.
*A tea is a tea!*
Unless you're one of those weird folks who put the milk before tea and heat it in a microwave instead of using hot water
I hear CO2 and gl w** and press dislike.
oh! Too many highly illogic things!
Karma!
Organic!
I thought Estonians are pretty logical but I'm proved wrong!
Tea is such a useless beverage. I never saw its value... just plain water is better.
