| Feature Tea Biz correspondent Jessica Natale Woollard visits Alaska, where tea maker Jenny Tse uses geothermal energy to warm a cozy greenhouse where she grows her tea.

| Growing Tea In Alaska - At first, we experimented with handling the tea, just making a green tea or making a white tea with very low processing in micro batches, explains Sipping Streams founder Jenny Tse. “Right now, we've just been experimenting with it and like serving free cups of tea to people at special events, fundraisers, at agricultural fairs completely just to see what people think about the tea. Some of the ideas that we're considering is possibly making a kombucha with it. We make our own kombucha right now. Another idea is to make gin kombucha from Alaskan fireweed,” says Tse.
