Brief introduction:

To celebrate the Year of Cultural Exchange between China and Japan in 2025, this film uses tea as a medium for civilizational dialogue, focusing on the philosophical core of "harmony" in East Asian tea culture. Through three main lines—historical exploration, skill inheritance, and contemporary practice—it systematically examines the profound influence of Chinese tea culture on Japanese tea ceremony and British afternoon tea. The film also showcases 18th-century China-Europe tea trade documents and Qing dynasty export tea sets as artifacts to evidence the globalization of Chinese tea, demonstrating the Eastern tea philosophy of "harmony in diversity and beauty in coexistence."
