All In This Tea

13Nov08

Filmmakers Gina Leibrecht and Les Blank made “All In This Tea” in 2007 to showcase the “hidden world of tea” in remote parts of China. Lucky New Yorkers will get to see a screening of it at the Film Forum tomorrow.

From The New York Times:

All in This Tea” dips effortlessly into a half-dozen modes — travelogue, biography, nature ode, business story, nerd profile — sustaining a flexibility of tone that allows for both keen insights into the rapidly evolving Chinese economy and drunken raptures on the ability, in one especially prized blend, “to taste the mountain.

  1. I have this movie and plan to watch it when I feel hungry for a good tea documentary. I haven’t yet because I’m saving it for the right time when I’ll appreciate it most. That time is approaching…

  2. A movie about loose leaf tea?? I love it. Cant wait to watch and sip on some oolong.
