おぶぶの新しいインターン生のご紹介

Name : Azlan Sofyan

Age : 22 years

Country Origin : Indonesia

University: Monash University

Major: Marketing Communication

Future Plans: Coming from a business family, I definitely want to have my own organisation one day. Although I am still not certain which market should I take part in, I do have a plan to open up a tea & coffee cafe as a side business. Interesting enough, coffee and green tea consumption are rising in my homeland, believing me that it would be a great opportunity for me to open one there.

Why come to Obubu:

    Growing up as manga and anime lover has piqued my interest in Japanese culture since I was in middle school. Through surfing the internet, I gained more and more appeal towards the culture, creating a dream of me living in Japan one day.

    Furthermore, as a tea drinker, I wanted to learn more on green tea since I have been drinking black tea whole my life. Back in my country, We don’t have a lot of green tea shops, and Japanese restaurants only serve ‘ocha’, or you can say Sencha, and Matcha. Knowing that there are more than 2 types of green tea motivates me to discover the rest.  With the knowledge I will acquire in Obubu, this could help me on opening up my tea & coffee cafe in Indonesia.

   Another fascinating point is that Indonesian are trying to fuse Matcha with our local sweet treats, creating a trend to the young generation. This tells me that there is a potential for me to educate and give them an experience of trying all the different types of green tea available.

Cheers,

Azlan
