This mass versus class appeal for the sake of a discerning guzzling US elite carpet bagging it in China, smacks suspiciously of tea imperialism.

All in This Tea is a delicious documentary about a beverage.

Despite its omissions, the movie is as quietly gaga as its human protagonist and as gently stimulating as its agricultural one.

It makes one long to sit down with a nice cup of tea. Theaters showing this excellent documentary might want to keep that in mind and stock up.

The film's quick-and-dirty verite yields some delightful caught moments, steeped in historical footnotes that only enhance.

Most of the footage is mundane stuff, following Hoffman around farms and factories. I wish the film had been more compelling.

A beautiful metaphor for filmmaking and a painful comment on the price of civilization.

Brisk and agreeable, a handcrafted ode to the brew that is the beverage of choice where the Chinese, among many others, are concerned.

A valuable addition to the growing canon of slow-food films for our fast-food nation.

It's another beautiful, sensual film, and another homage to what makes life enjoyable.
