"The Meaning of Tea" Movie

by mbishop » Dec 24th, '09, 23:07

Has anyone seen "The Meaning of Tea" (http://www.themeaningoftea.com/). I've only seen the clips, but it looks like a really interesting movie. There is an accompanying book of the same title as well.

Does anyone own the DVD? I'd love to see it, but can't see spending the money on a DVD I'd probably only watch once

Couldn't find it on Hulu or anything either.

The trailer looks great! I hope to see it someday!
I never buy DVD either, and it seems they won't have screening in my region next year :shock:

Hope pbs show it someday.

I haven't seen the movie, but I got the chance to review the book, and I imagine in some ways they're quite similar. It was a great read, and if given the chance, I'd definitely check out the movie. It's a good tea tag-along book, if you're into that sort of whatnot.

I saw a screening of it in SF. There is some gorgeous footage in there, including tea picking, tea processing, and teapots being made starting from flat sheets of metal.

I found the narrative path to be somewhat jumbled, and I would have preferred more detail about tea customs and *how* tea changes with each culture that it moves to, but I think that may be personal preference.
