There was a popular television show in Korea, and also aired here in
China, also very popular in China; called $B=w?ME72(B. I think the English
title is "Girls on the Top".
It was a very long episodic drama series, and also very cool. Just
about every episode shows mainly concubines of the emperor, drinking
tea from a celadon tea set, while plotting how to do away with the
crown-prince so that their own son could get the throne.

The title sounds naughty...

Hello, everyone!
I would love it if you could recommend any books or films in which tea
plays a prominent role. They don't need to be *about* tea per se. An
example might be how food/cooking plays a large role in "Eat Drink Man
Woman" but that's not really what the move is *about*. We're looking
for things like that.

Hi Michael,
Any episode of Star Trek TNG inolves tea, mostly Earl Grey... You know
the rest. I even saw a "Klingon Tea Ceremony" that rocked.

It think my first exposure to tea ceremonies and the notion that tea
was something special was from watching the Shogun mini-series. I
haven't seen it since I was a teenager though, so it may not be as
applicable as my memory suggests. :-)

In the new BBC series based on the books of Alexander McCall Smith -
The No.1 Ladies Detective Agency, Bush Tea (what is that? Rooibos?)
plays an important role in the show as mediating bridge, 2 connect, 2
pour out problems, etc.

In Fearless, a chinese movie, the hero discusses some cool deep stuff
with a Japanese opponent over a cup of tea, near the end of the film.




I second a look at that Fearless reference, if nothing else the gaiwans
were really cool. I kept wondering where they got them, they were
much bigger than I was used to (The gaiwans).
