Title: The
Tea Trail with Simon Reeve
Description:
Adventurer and journalist Simon Reeve heads to east Africa
to uncover
the stories behind Britain's favourite drink.
Britons consume millions of cups of tea each day, but how
many
know where the tea comes from? Perhaps surprisingly,
most
of the leaves in everyday teabags do not come from
India or China but are bought at an auction in the coastal
city
of Mombasa in Kenya. From here, Simon follows the tea
trail through the epic landscapes of Kenya and Uganda and
meets some of the millions of people who pick, pack and
transport tea. Drinking tea with everyone from Masai cattle
herders to the descendants of the original white tea
planters,
Simon learns that the industry is not immune to
the
troubles of the continent - poverty, low wages and child
labour
