Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep 241 | Sri Lanka Slumps, Assam Struggles, Türkiye Rises
Q: You've spent decades in beverages and tea. What convinced you that the industry needed a different approach?
The industry needed more than audits and public commitments; it required a bottom-up, worker-centered approach that makes real the information about working conditions and supply-chain ethics, removing information vacuums that have persisted for decades.
Fertilizer Crisis | Tea Day | India Auction Mandate
Q: Michael, what does regenerative tea farming mean in day-to-day practice?
It starts with doing less rather than more: no irrigation, no synthetic inputs, and allowing nature to guide growth, so the plants interact with their environment and develop deep root systems that support long-term soil health and flavor quality.
Ep 239 | Refund Rush, Tea Diplomacy, Tariff Reality
Q: Annabel, what prompted you to move beyond sustainability certifications and build RegenTea?
The push came from observed farmer burdens under existing audits, a desire for greater transparency, and a need to translate environmental goals into real economic benefits, which RegenTea aims to deliver through farmer-centric data and regenerative practices.
Tea News Recap | Tariffs & EU MRL Crackdown Hit Global Tea Trade
Q: What's happening on the floor with matcha and other products?
Exhibitors are showcasing a mix of traditional and innovative offerings, from premium matcha to automated brewing systems, with strong emphasis on B2B networking and long-term relationships.
Tea News Recap | Tariffs & EU MRL Crackdown Hit Global Tea Trade
Q: Tell me a little about LeafBerry.
