As you might know, blueberry pies are what started my obsession with pies. There's nothing better than a fresh blueberry pie shared with friends. However, until my short conversation about tea with other critics, I hadn't given much thought to what would be the perfect tea for a blueberry pie.
Michal Oleszczyk's mother runs a tea shop in Tarnowskie Góry. According to Michal, "she gave the place a feel and a soul all its own."
On the topic of blueberry pie and tea she told Michal: "She said the last time she had blueberry pie she brewed some black caramel tea and added some cream to it. She told me the sweetness of caramel worked very well with the slight tanginess of the berries!"
We'll have to try that during our Pi(e) Month although March isn't a good time for fresh blueberries.
The same weekend we attending the tea festival 28-29 of September 2013), we went to see "Young Detective Dee: Rise of the Sea Dragon," we attended the Tea Festival in Little Tokyo. So I came up with this question for my fellow film critics:
I don't know if you've seen the new Detective Dee movie: "Young Detective Dee: Rise of the Sea Dragon," but the plot concerns tea. While I do recommend drinking tea (over coffee and alcohol), I do not, however, recommend the movie.
As it happens, the Saturday after I saw the movie, I went to an international tea festival in Little Tokyo. One of the tea experts recommended two of the movies below (2&3).
So I wondered if you had any suggestions of movies that involve tea. Movies with Tea Leoni do not count.
I already have:
1. "Eat a Bowl of Tea" (which is based on a 1961 novel)
2. "The Bitter Tea of General Yen" (1933 with Nils Asther and Barbara Stanwyck)
3. "Brief Encounter" (1945)
4. "Tea for Two" (1950)

Michal Oleszczyk:
- Ozu's "The Taste of Green Tea Over Rice"
- In every British movie ever made the phrase "I'll put the kettle on?" or "Fancy a cuppa?" must appear by constitutional ruling.
