Michio Hanamizu, who has been managing a tea farm for 15 years, recently encountered a unique challenge when he had to impress a group of preschool students with his tea. Despite his vast experience in serving different teas to customers, this tasting session stood out as he brewed various teas to engage the young participants' palates as part of an early childhood education program.

Hanamizu's usual customers were typically prospective tea connoisseurs or enthusiasts, making this interaction with preschoolers a refreshing and surprising change of pace. Despite the initial lack of interest from the children towards green tea, Hanamizu noticed a significant shift in their enthusiasm as soon as he introduced black tea into the tasting session. The unexpected delight and excitement in the children's eyes when they tasted the black tea left a lasting impression on Hanamizu, highlighting the power of a simple change in tea type to capture the interest and enjoyment of a young audience.
