Terroir?
Terroir.
I know, but I love how you keep shooting for the fences.
You keep putting these foreign words in and trying your best.
Yeah, sure.

This isn't just a set-it-and-forget-it kind of plant.
You need the right weather, so it's a crop that's very susceptible to a warming climate, which is a thing that's happening now.
I don't know exactly how it's done.
That would be interesting to, like, drill down more on how things are hand-pollinated.
But, you know, you start to see, like, okay, here we have this plant that only grows in a really narrow band in the world that will not...
you know, propagate unless a human intervenes.
