I just watched this documentary on Sundance Channel. I found it very interesting and would love to taste, better yet buy, those teas. I enjoy teas from my local grocery and know they're likely filled with chemicals. Unfortunately, it's what's available and I accept what limited health benefits they provide. How can I get THAT Tea???
As a frequent green tea drinker, this was a very fascinating and visually engaging film , which I just watched on Sundance Channel. It was informative, but I still don't understand why green tea is so variable. Even premium teas can be very good one time and, without hyperbole, wretched the next.
I agree. I just now saw it here in Sweden on Swedish television. A very interesting and well made documentary. David Lee Hoffman is my new hero. He works for QUALITY, win-win formula and organic farming - and to help the Chinese with production through organic farming!
Les has a classic style of filmmaking and it seems in good harmony with Gina's talent & skills, and the subject matter is a good vehicle for them. I occassionally fall off the wagon(back to coffee), but I always come home to tea.
This is one of the best documentaries I have seen. The filming is soulful and engaging. I learned about the beauty of tea and depth of tea, and want to develop my palate to notice the differences in flavors. I learned about the importance of supporting organic agricultural practices, the challenges of doing business in China, and the incredible accomplishments a person can make if they are well-versed, purposeful, and relentless. Bravo! This film is a must see.
