Gong Cha’s New Offerings: A Refreshing Twist on Bottled Tea
Last year, Gong Cha's bottled tea series thrived, selling about 5.7 million units in just one week after its launch. This July 1st, Seven-Eleven Japan, in collaboration with Kirin Beverage, is set to unveil two exciting new products: the revamped "Brown Sugar Oolong Milk Tea" and the brand new "Alishan Oolong Mango Tea Ade."
As tea preferences continue to evolve, beverages like tea and herbal infusions are increasingly becoming popular choices, prompting Seven-Eleven Japan to innovate in the beverage market. In July of the previous year, they introduced the first-ever bottled drink from Gong Cha. This time, they are upgrading the existing line with luxurious flavors and unique blends.
The new "Brown Sugar Oolong Milk Tea" boasts a rich and indulgent flavor profile, expertly balancing oolong tea and brown sugar. It represents the brand’s ongoing dedication to enhancing the quality of their offerings. Meanwhile, the "Alishan Oolong Mango Tea Ade" makes use of top-notch Taiwanese Alishan oolong tea, creating a fresh fruit tea experience by blending the popular mango flavor, which is a best-seller in Gong Cha shops.
To get feedback on these new products, dedicated Gong Cha crew members who interact closely with customers were chosen for a tasting event, where their impressions were captured through a survey. The results were overwhelmingly positive; 99% of the respondents believed that the "Brown Sugar Oolong Milk Tea" had a strong sense of Gong Cha's essence. A staggering 86% noted improvements in taste since its prior version. Furthermore, 93% of the crew felt that the "Alishan Oolong Mango Tea Ade" encapsulated the essence of the brand as well.
These new offerings have piqued the interest of the Gong Cha crew, highlighting their desire for authentic, high-quality tea experiences that are easily accessible. Seven-Eleven Japan continues to partner with Gong Cha and Kirin Beverage to further elevate the tea culture in Japan.
