Anyone elso watch the show on SBS that finished just now?

From India, Kate heads south to Sri Lanka, where she takes part in the delicate process of harvesting the cinnamon and also witnesses the crucial make-or-break negotiations of local farmers trying to sell their crops. (From the UK) (Food Series) (Part 1 of 3) PG CC

No, haven't seen it but it sounds like my cup of tea. I suspect that it would be chai philosophy rather than latte. Try getting a good espresso in India or Sri Lanka!

Watching Ep 1 now. Yes, a bit of latte nonsense going on with the padding but an interesting excursion nonetheless.
