All In This Tea
I recently caught a very interesting film on the Sundance Channel from Comcast's On-Demand free movies section (very cool service, BTW). It's a documentary about Chinese tea called All In This Tea. The film follows David Lee Hoffmann (an American tea pioneer) through rural areas of China on his hunt for fine hand-crafted teas that are generally unavailable through mass production. There are insightful commentaries from tea experts and connoisseurs, plus some great footage of the landscape. I learned a lot about the history and culture of tea, and definitely recommend the film if you have any interest in that sort of thing.
