Gong Cha and Kirin Beverage Unveil Autumn's Delight: Alishan Oolong Grape Tea Ade

Gong Cha Japan, a prominent player in the tea culture scene, has teamed up with Kirin Beverage to launch the latest seasonal drink, Alishan Oolong Grape Tea Ade. This exciting new offering will hit the shelves starting September 22, 2026, and will be available exclusively at 7-Eleven locations across Japan.

With a shared vision of cultivating tea culture, Gong Cha and Kirin Beverage have partnered since 2024 to deliver premium bottled tea experiences to consumers. This initiative aims to reach not only loyal Gong Cha fans but also those who have yet to visit their stores, allowing everyone to enjoy high-quality tea right from the convenience of select Seven-Eleven outlets.

This autumn release features the delightful pairing of rich grape flavor harmoniously balanced by the refreshing essence of Alishan Oolong tea. Each sip opens with the perfect acidity and fruity notes of grape, transitioning gracefully into the floral aftertaste of the Alishan Oolong, making it a quintessential autumn fruit tea. Designed to replicate the refreshing experience of Gong Cha's in-store tea ade, this original bottled creation strives for a juicy fruitiness combined with a satisfying drink character, ensuring a unique flavor profile only available in this format.

Whether as a reward after a long day, a little luxury amidst daily life, or a refreshing break, the Alishan Oolong Grape Tea Ade promises to enhance your autumn experience. By introducing innovative tea culture, Gong Cha and Kirin Beverage aspire to deliver happiness to their customers' everyday lives while contributing to a more vibrant society.
