Summary:

From Abderrahmane Sissako, the brilliant director of Timbuktu (2014), comes the gorgeous globe-hopping romance Black Tea. After saying no on her wedding day, Aya runs away from the Ivory Coast for a new life in the buzzing "Chocolate City" of Guangzhou, China. In this district where the African diaspora meets Chinese culture, she gets hired in a tea boutique owned by Cai, a Chinese man. In the secrecy of the back shop, Cai decides to initiate Aya into the secrets of the tea ceremony. Through the teaching of this ancient and intimate art, they slowly fall in love.
