Anchoring a series of specially curated titles for the Lunar New Year on BBC Earth is One Cup, A Thousand Stories. Indulge in the immersive, beautifully filmed story of the drink that changed the world – tea. As one of China's greatest contributions to human civilisation, it has conquered the world to influence cultures, beliefs and behaviours across the globe in surprising ways and is now playing a major role in forging a more sustainable future.

This stunning landmark series tells the story of tea on an unprecedented scale, revealing the extraordinary landscapes of tea, from high mountains to wild coasts.

One Cup, A Thousand Stories premieres on Thursday, 20th January at 9:00pm, on UnifiTV channel 501 and BBC Player | Astro channel 554


Follow the people of China over a year in Through the Seasons: China as the seasons change, and festivals brighten the calendar. Meet farmers and engineers, conservationists and craftsmen, scientists and creative people of all kinds who have built distinctive agriculture, ways of life, crafts and culture around the opportunities and challenges of this landscape. Discover this huge and varied country in spectacular drone footage, as traditions, landscape and ways of life are fully revealed from the air.

From its traditions and culture to splendour and scale of China’s natural landscapes, there’s also much to learn about the different sides to this festival in each episode of Chinese New Year: The Biggest Celebration On Earth.
