What is in it

  • The gaiwan and the Yixing pot: what they are, and why one pot is kept for one kind of tea
  • How tea left China — and the part of that story these films do not tell
  • Ten Chinese words from the film, with pinyin, and a link to hear them read aloud
  • Sources: UNESCO, museum and archive material, listed on the last page
