All in This Tea is a brilliantly realized documentary by
filmmakers Les Blank and Gina Leibrecht. It examines the world of real life
adventurer David Lee Hoffman, a man tramping through the hinterlands of China in search
of unique sources of handcrafted, high quality teas. The fascinating and highly
amusing film follows the khaki-clad explorer through friendly encounters with
small farmers who somehow manage to figure out what herbal treasure Hoffman-who
speaks only a few words of Chinese-is searching for. (Paul Ventura and Jason
Soeda)
