Can't help but feel a bit of fetishization and Eat Pray Love sentiments in this.
There's a chapter where she is having matcha with a Buddhist monk and is asking him for advice... really outta touch.
The way the author refers to farmers she works with as "my farmer" rubs me the wrong way. I work with farmers, and would never speak of them like that, as if they are your employees rather than business partners.
