Plot Summary:During the 1990s, David Lee Hoffman searched throughout China for the finest teas. He's a California importer who, as a youth, lived in Asia for years and took tea with the Dali Lama. Hoffman's mission is to find and bring to the U.S. the best hand picked and hand processed tea. This search takes him directly to farms and engages him with Chinese scientists, business people, and government officials: Hoffman wants tea grown organically without a factory, high-yield mentality. By 2004, Hoffman has seen success: there are farmers' collectives selling tea, ways to export "boutique tea" from China, and a growing Chinese appreciation for organic farming's best friend, the earthworm.
想打四星半
赫尔佐格客串
比较标准的纪录片。Les味略淡，不过还是有回归到Les一贯的个人追求和努力，不是俗气的鸡汤，Les的鸡汤我总是爱喝，而且总会让我觉得世上有好事情发生。

虽然表面上是在讲茶，而且讲的茶历史也非常详细。但是更重要的是，讲了很多背后的故事，包括对世界环境的堪忧，在中国找茶叶市场的不同 不过有些地方还是看出来男主角被骗了的情况，比如一斤不等于一磅，他被宰了，但是他说得好的一句话就是，如果我不出高价，那么这些农民就再也不会做手工茶了
Les Blank关于茶的纪录片，记录David Lee Hoffman走访中国寻找茶叶过程，全片充满着对于茶叶的热爱以及其中的乐趣，各个有意思的方面都有所涉及到，看起来非常的有趣。7.9分★★★★【有几段是97年在杭州拍的，看到熟悉的地方还有几句杭州话还小兴奋了下；还有赫尔佐格又在莱斯的片子里客串了】
普及版
这是不是关于茶的纪录片？如果是，那我就谢天谢地了 请问有没有这部影片的资源？如果有，请发到我的邮箱里，谢谢了 tanxinle@163.com
