The role of black tea Today, I went to Tokyo in the afternoon for Mother Leaf's new employee training. Mother Leaf, which was established as a tea cafe, will be in its 12th year this year. There are now 28 stores nationwide, and a new store will open in Osaka this month. In training for newcomers, we focus on learning the most important "relationship between tea and people" as well as basic knowledge of tea including product studies, production areas and history of tea. . . . Good tea isn't just about the tea itself, it's about what you feel when you brew and serve it. The mother leaf shop is warm today as well. . . . ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When I get back, it seems that the power will be out soon. But it's okay, my heart goes bright.
