Chapter 1 "Trigger"
I was born and raised in a tea wholesaler in Shizuoka called Kyozo Iwasaki.
Tea was so commonplace that I didn't feel special.
During the five years I lived away from my parents' house, I was told to take a teapot with me, but I only used it 2.3 times.
More than that, I was addicted to tea.
"Me drinking tea slowly",
I thought it was "time to brew tea from tea leaves in a cute teapot" and "wonderful!"
After I was able to drink alcohol, I was thinking about alcohol all the time lol lol
"What should I have as a side dish today?"
I'm like, 'I'm in the mood for red wine, so I'm going to have cheese and prosciutto.'
Those days changed dramatically when she became pregnant.
Chapter 2 "Tea and Me"
At the age of 26, I finally thought about tea.
In the first place, I was not good at "making tea".
"Because I'm Mr./Ms. in a tea house" "Because I'm from Shizuoka Tea House" and strange pressure...
Even if you try to brew it, it won't be like your mother brewed it.
If you ask them, they will be angry, and even if you look them up, it is difficult to understand.
"I don't know anymore!!"
That's why I can only sympathize with everyone when they say, "I don't know how to make tea" or "I'm going to be scolded." So, I studied Japan tea instructors.
"Tea is so deep!
What can I do with tea?
Chapter 3 "Tea in Everyday Life"
The "special feeling" I felt when I was addicted to tea a long time ago
"Tea utensils and sweets, I enjoy that time"
I like to drink, and I'm like, "Let's buy a drink from this glass!"
The days when I thought, "I want to eat this today, so this sake."
All of this can be replaced with tea!
Instead of selling tea, let's propose a lifestyle.
