A Flavorful Collaboration

In an exciting culinary partnership, CNS ENGLISH EXPRESS has joined hands with CONTENART to introduce a special menu that will be available for a limited time starting September 2026. The initiative focuses on celebrating the rich cultural heritage of Georgia, USA, the home state of CNN. With this collaboration, customers can expect to enjoy two meticulously crafted offerings that elegantly connect learning with delightful tasting experiences.

Menu Highlights

The first item, the Georgia Corn Flammkuchen, combines the Southern delicacy of corn grits—often known for its unique texture and flavor—with Flammkuchen, a traditional German baked dish that resembles a thin crust pizza. From September 2 to October 22, patrons visiting the Tea Sweets Lab. CONTENART in Yoyogi will be able to savor this innovative dish. The Flammkuchen features corn grits spread over a delicate base, topped with cardamom-infused fromage blanc, crispy bacon, young corn, and aromatic rosemary. This dish promises to offer a satisfying blend of sweetness and texture that captures the essence of Georgia's culinary influences. To complement this culinary delight, the tea pairing suggested by the CNN ENGLISH EXPRESS editorial team includes both fragrant Darjeeling and a fruity Peach Garden tea that highlights the Southern peach theme.

Refreshing Drink Option

The second offering, Peach State – Peach & Earl Grey Jelly Milk Tea, will be available from September 14 to October 15 at MILKTEA by CONTENART in Tokyo Dome City. This dessert-like milk tea is crafted to evoke the essence of Georgia’s Peach State nickname. It features a heavenly foam made from fresh peaches, peach jelly containing real fruit pieces, and a luscious peach sauce, all blended with a smooth Earl Grey jelly tea. As guests sip this exquisite drink, they will experience a delightful transformation of flavors and textures, from the airy peach foam to the rich Earl Grey jelly below.

Unique Interactive Experience

The journey from concept to menu item was born from engaging discussions with the CNN ENGLISH EXPRESS editorial team. The team's suggestion of incorporating corn grits into a CONTENART-inspired dish resulted in the creation of the Flammkuchen. The collaborative spirit continued as the tea pairings and final menu items were carefully selected through tasting sessions with CNN’s editorial staff. Detailed insights into the creative process, including trials and food testing sessions, will be shared on a dedicated section of CONTENART's official website.

Additionally, shoppers can immerse themselves in the learning experience with the ‘Today’s Study Starts Now’ photo initiative. During the promotional period, a news-themed photo display will be set up in-store, allowing customers to capture moments enjoying the menu while making their study announcements. Customers are encouraged to share these moments on social media, promoting language learning and new educational pursuits, making the tea experience all the more memorable.

Future Steps

This culinary collaboration will also feature prominently within the pages of CNN ENGLISH EXPRESS and will be updated through the official X account of CNN ENGLISH EXPRESS. The collaborative story of product development and the delicious offerings will be extensively documented on the official websites of both CNN ENGLISH EXPRESS and CONTENART, allowing fans to stay updated on this thrilling fusion of culture, cuisine, and education.
