documentary
Very good doc on the work of an American named David Hoffman to bring artisanal teas to the US. He travels to China, goes to individual farms, buys the best tea in bulk directly from the farmer, fights endlessly with the Chinese bureaucracy to get it shipped back home and sells it. These are teas that are organically grown, hand processed (labor-intensive), no pesticides and rich with flavors outside the range of industrially produced product..
Engrossing film with great insight in what it takes to make good tea and how difficult it is to bypass the traditional model which has been in place for centuries.
