Thank you, all!

I've tried watching that first TGY one twice at home but it always hung a couple of minutes in, maybe I'll have better luck here at work.

Beautiful documentary about photographer Chen Jin's years of documenting the old teahouse life of Chengdu followed by another sweet photo-history documentary although not related to tea in any way.
