With the mission to bring Japanese tea to the world Obubu actively seeks collaborations with like-minded organisations. More than anything we hope to spread Japanese tea culture and contribute to tea education. Through our world travels in the past years we have built connections and friendships with a few tea education centres and tea communities around the world, that is leading to more joint tea education programs.
