In yet another entertaining advertisement featuring pop culture personalities, Rap Star Eminem appeared as himself in what has been coined "The Eminem Anti-Ad".

"All In This Tea" now available through Amazon

While researching were we could get the documentary "All In This Tea", besides purchasing it, we came across a link at Amazon.com allowing individuals to watch the film via their computer or DVR.  The one week rental from Amazon's site will cost $1.99--a great deal for anyone wanting to watch a quality film about tea.

All In This Tea (2007) is an excellent film that documents Les Blank's journey into the hidden world of tea by following world-renowned tea expert David Lee Hoffman to some of the most remote regions of China in search of the best handmade teas in the world.

Those wishing to rent it may find it difficult to find at their local video rental store. And, for Netflix customers, the film has not yet made it's way into their datebase.

The only options that we have found so far is to purchase the movie throught the "All In This Tea" Website, which we advise for those who love tea and/or add a great film to their library, or purchase a 7 day rental through Amazon.

A Rookie Firefighter gets a suprise on his first call

We picked this video up from William Lengeman over at Tea Guy Speaks. An entry to the Calm-A-Sutra of Tea Scholarship contest, the video titled "The Rookie" features a rookie firefighter who gets a huge surprise during his first call.

According to TeaUSA, sponsor of the national scholarship competition, the Calm-A-Sutra of Tea is a national scholarship given for the most creative tea video as means to educate consumers about the delicious taste and the numerous health benefits of drinking tea from the Camellia sinensis plant.
