イギリス紅茶紀行・・・・No.10

British tea travelogue ... No. 10

British tea travelogue ... No. 10 Interview with the 10th Mr. Twining~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Saturday, June 9th at 2pm, this time is very important. I've been punctual since I was the ninth generation at the time I promised to meet Mr. Twining. When I visited Twining's head office (Andover), when I arrived at the head office on time, the 9th generation, the 10th generation, and the secretary were already standing outside waiting for my arrival. . I always see him when I go to England, so I've forgotten how many times I've met him, but year by year, the 10th generation looks more like the 9th generation's father. On this day too, I adjusted the time and arrived at exactly 2:00, but Mr. Twining was not there. If you ask the staff, "What about Mr. Winning?", just answer "Soon." At 2:05 Mr. Twining came in sweating. "I'm sorry, it was Her Majesty's 60th anniversary, and the city was so crowded that I couldn't get a car in." Punctuality is also a part of hospitality. I learned a lot from my 9th generation father. These are the words of a 300-year-old tea merchant. This time again, the 10th generation was very kind and smiled, took pictures, signed autographs, shook hands, and welcomed me.
