Exciting New Product Launch from Gong Cha
Gong Cha Japan, a well-known global tea cafe chain originating from Taiwan, is set to captivate tea lovers with its latest product innovation. Starting July 1, 2025, exclusive to Seven-Eleven stores across Japan, the popular number one tea, Mango, joins the lineup alongside a revamped version of the beloved black sugar oolong milk tea.

For their revamped product, the
Black Sugar Oolong Milk Tea, Gong Cha has enhanced the original flavor for a richer taste, combining the premium oolong tea from Fujian, China, with the sweet richness of brown sugar. The result is a luxurious milk tea experience that balances the distinctive aroma of the oolong with the sweetness of brown sugar.

Ali Shan Oolong Mango Tea Ade, showcasing the number one flavor in Gong Cha's fruit tea category, brings the delightful mango taste directly to customers in a convenient bottle. Combining the luxurious mango flavor with the refreshing scent of Ali Shan oolong tea, this unique blend promises a juicy and refreshing taste that is perfect for any occasion.
To highlight Gong Cha's personality, the new product packaging reflects their branding with a redesign featuring Gong Cha red caps, making it visually appealing as well.
