A Good Movie To Watch

Unless you’re a tea fanatic, you’ve probably never thought about the drink in [this] much detail, but that’s the beauty of this film: it lets us into other people’s passions and opens our eyes to the wonders we might never have seen otherwise.

I'd like to try some of that $20k/pound prize winning tea. David Lee's easy going personality make this easy to watch.

This documentary lacks any kind of narrative for much of its short runtime; with some subjects that would be okay but I'm not sure I understand that decision with tea. It feels almost as if Blank and co went and filmed lots of stuff and then later thought "how do we turn this into a movie?" But it's still intersting and I learned something.
