I composed this music as a rescore for a documentary called Bound Together which is a portrait of tea farmers living on Dong Ding mountain running their family business of oolong tea making. The tea documentary is called "Bound Together" and was created by Jake Knapp and produced by Shiuwen Tai of Floating Leaves Tea. You can watch the original documentary here.
