Features: When this book was published in Japan, it was the cold beginning of spring. Takashi Takano, like someone taking a stroll, wrapped a scarf around his neck and walked to the Sanseido bookstore in Kanda to attend the book signing. His TEAHOUSEUTAKANO is quite close to Sanseido, so after the signing, I joined him there for tea. The entire afternoon, the shop was packed with customers, the air filled with the unique aroma of black tea, and guests happily savoring delicious black tea served in exquisite teaware. The snacks on the tables were even more tempting. After drinking the admirable flaxseed milk tea, I tried the rich-flavored pure black tea, and then deeply understood why the black tea expert in Japan, Yama Akira, would praise Takashi Takano as a 'black tea brewer'. Takashi Takano eloquently shared his experiences visiting tea gardens around the world and how he has enjoyed the pleasures of black tea for many years. He also revealed that he has a 'tea cellar' that controls temperature and humidity, saying, 'Tea, like wine, has life and changes.' It is easy to see that after more than 20 years of brewing practice, his person, his shop, his craftsmanship, and his philosophy have become one. Although drinking black tea is a simple matter, Takashi Takano spent a long time writing this book and devoted a lot of effort. He hopes to share the secrets of running a black tea specialty store in an easy and accessible way. Whether you are a black tea novice or an expert enthusiast, you will not want to miss this book.
