Movie Reviews of The Renaissance of Tea

Movie Review: Very good on preparation and appreciation of tea, would have liked more on the processing
Summary: 4 Stars

The strengths of this production lie in the detailed instructions for the preparation of various types of tea, mainly Chinese, and the bits and pieces of tea lore imparted in the interviews (although individuals familiar with the world of tea aren't going to learn much new from them--but it does bill itself as an "introduction" so no surprise there). The videography is artful and the selection of tea vessels used during the preparation of the various teas is a visual delight. My only real complaint is that the amount of footage of the processing is much less than I expected from reading the promotional blurb. Personally I would have liked to have more material on the processing.

Summary of The Renaissance of Tea

The Renaissance of Tea DVD is designed for tea lovers who want to steep teas properly, to learn the traditional art of Chinese tea and gain insights into how these teas are crafted. This DVD includes expert demonstration and preparation of white, green, oolong, and pu-erh teas using traditional teawares. Includes rarely seen footage of oolong tea gardens in Fujian, China, with interviews of tea masters and farmers during the harvest. Commentary by James Norwood Pratt, author of the best-selling "New Tea Lover's Treasury".
