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

The film is both delightful and informative at every turn.

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

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

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

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

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