(簡中/英字幕)

茶和咖啡是一套的,越南是”雀巢即溶”的產地;肯亞就是”立頓紅茶”的大本營…
  Adventurer and journalist Simon Reeve heads to east Africa to uncover the stories behind the nation's favourite drink. While we drink millions of cups of the stuff each day, how many of us know where our tea actually comes from? The surprising answer is that most of the leaves that go into our everyday teabags do not come from India or China but are bought from 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 our tea. Drinking tea with the everyone from Masai cattle herders to the descendants of the original white tea planters, Simon learns that the industry that supplies our everyday cuppa is not immune to the troubles of the continent - poverty, low wages and child labour.

    BBC紀錄片----茶葉/咖啡之旅 中英字幕

    《西蒙·里夫茶葉之旅The Tea Trail With Simon Reeve》
    簡介:
    冒險家兼記者的西蒙·里夫前往東非,探訪英國國民飲料——茶葉背後的故事。英國人每天要喝幾百萬杯咖啡,卻鮮有人知道它們來自何方。意料之外的是,英國茶包內的茶葉大多不是來自印度或中國,而是來自肯尼亞的港口城市蒙巴薩。
    從這裡開始,西蒙沿著茶葉之路,在肯尼亞和烏干達尋訪採茶、打包和運輸茶葉的工人們;和馬賽牧人一起喝茶聊天;並了解到這個供給著整個英國茶葉的產業仍然飽受貧窮、低薪和童工的困擾——正如整個非洲的縮影。



    《西蒙·里夫咖啡之旅The Coffee Trail With Simon Reeve》
    簡介:
    冒險家兼記者的西蒙·里夫動身前往越南,尋找我們每天早晨的提神飲料背後的故事。
    英國人每週都要喝掉幾百萬杯咖啡,而又有多少人知道他們的咖啡從哪裡來呢?答案不是巴西、哥倫比亞或牙買加,而是越南!英國人所喝咖啡中的八成不是卡普奇諾或拿鐵,而是速溶咖啡,而越南正是他們最大的供應商。
    三十年前越南的咖啡產量僅佔全世界產量的很小一部分,但在越戰之後,政府決定大規模種植咖啡。現在,越南已經是世界上第二大咖啡出產國。咖啡產業為幾百萬人提供了工作,令少數人白手起家成為百萬富翁。但西蒙也發現,越南的快速發展令當地居民和環境付出了沉重的代價。
