After the showing of this beautiful and thought-provoking documentary, there was a facinating question and answer session with Scott Chamberlin-Hoyt the producer and director of THE MEANING OF TEA and James Norwood Pratt. author of New Tea Lover's Treasury. Mr. Hoyt said that reading Norwood Pratt's book is what inspired him to make this film. You may purchase the DVD here and Norwood's book here or both at Elmwood Inn's website here.
Kentucky tea lovers (like myself) are very fortunate to have Bruce, Shelley and Ben Richardson of Elmwood Inn Fine Teas and Benjamin Press to bring fabulous tea programs like this one to central Kentucky.
Here is some tea scoop for you! Bruce told me Norwood is in Kentucky to work with him on an upcoming tea project. Sounds exciting doesn't it? And, Scott Chamberlin-Hoyt told me he is working on a short tea film to be released in time for a major tea event in the spring of 2009. (You real tea lovers know the spring tea event I mean!)

Wonderful things happen, when you are a Tea lover.
Thanks so much for the link to the Meaning of Tea. The DVD, CD, and companion book sound wonderful. I have added these to my christmas wish list.
You left a comment on my blog. Did you want to be entered into one of the drawings? Bye, Frivolitea.
Now THAT sounds like an exciting Saturday night to me! I'd heard of this film (but haven't seen it) and of course know of James Norwood Pratt by tea reputation, but have never had the pleasure of meeting him. Wow! Am also admiring your reporting skills. Nice work, Scoop!
What a fun event. I wish I could have been there with you. Norwood Pratt is such a joy to meet. Now I know what tea event you are talking about and I plan to be there to enjoy each moment. Will you be there?
Wow - I'm so pleased that you had this opportunity! I've been wondering about the movie. I will lobby MY library to show it! :-)
