    "Weird but cool," as one character says -- yet the movie is also remarkably touching.

    A tad too long, "Tea" is nevertheless touching and funny, with charming performances. You might say it's as calming as a hot cup of green tea.

    A bit of patience is required to get through The Taste of Tea, but patience is often rewarded, and it certainly is by this droll and oddly touching film.

    Warm and fantastical family portrait.
