All in This Tea is a delicious documentary about a beverage.
06/27/08
Top CriticDespite its omissions, the movie is as quietly gaga as its human protagonist and as gently stimulating as its agricultural one.
06/26/08
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.

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

Top CriticMost 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.

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