City Hall Arts Center
Directors Les Blank and Gina Leibrecht follow the American tea importer, David Lee Hoffman, to some of the most remote regions of China in search of the finest handmade teas in the world. As the Chinese open their doors to the global marketplace, Hoffman opens their eyes to their own ancient tradition that links them, and all of us, to the distant past. San Francisco Chronicle: “It brims with fascinating information about the process of growing fine tea, but the film rises to perfection as the tea becomes a kind of lens for us to consider, yet again, the fragility of our environment.” Shown with Les Blank’s WERNER HERZOG EATS HIS SHOE. Total running time, 70 minutes. Sponsored by Red Hen Bakery. Post-film event: Director Les Blank will discuss the film. Review
