Embrace the Warmth of Seasonal Flavors

As the autumn leaves fall and winter approaches, FamilyMart is ready to warm hearts with its new line-up of hot beverages, passionately curated by the renowned tea brand, Afternoon Tea. Celebrating its fifth year of collaboration, FamilyMart is set to launch three comforting drinks on November 11, 2025. These beverages not only reflect the essence of the season but also cater to the desire for superior flavor and enjoyment.

The New Face of Hot Beverages

Among the stars of this release is the Grape Earl Grey Tea, a unique blend that embraces the sweetness of grapes, perfectly paired with the floral notes of Earl Grey tea. This drink incorporates a remarkable 40% of Sri Lankan Uva tea leaves, delivering a rich and vibrant experience. As the first-ever Earl Grey tea featuring grape notes from Afternoon Tea, it promises to redefine cozy moments during the colder months.

Furthermore, the offerings include the Black Bean Rooibos Tea, which showcases South African rooibos tea—a caffeine-free option that complements its nutty black bean fragrance, ideal for a warm, relaxing evening. The final treat in the line-up is the Earl Grey Latte, which blends rich Earl Grey tea with high-quality domestic milk, creating a creamy delight that is both fulfilling and convenient.

These flavors have been developed in response to popular demand and the brand’s commitment to delivering superior taste experiences. With over 340 million units sold since its inception, the Afternoon Tea bottled drinks have consistently impressed customers with their refreshing taste and straightforward preparation. This year's launch is anticipated to further elevate sales by 117% compared to the previous year, showcasing a trend that reflects the growing fondness for variety and quality in hot beverages.

We invite tea lovers to enjoy this distinct blend and enhance their tea time with a seasonal touch.
