Kyushu - Wo Japans Grüner Tee Wächst

Storyline

The deep connection between green tea and Japanese culture is explored, such as a tea ceremony instructor and a kendo instructor who explain how the philosophies of each are similar. Growers are shown crafting traditional green tea, from harvest to steaming and drying and even selling at a tea auction house. The documentary also follows an American tea importer seeking out "hidden treasures" tucked away in the mountains of Kyushu.
