FamilyMart to Launch First Afternoon Tea Chai Tea Latte

FamilyMart, headquartered in Minato, Tokyo, announced an exciting addition to its chilled cup beverage lineup. Starting January 20, 2026, customers will be able to enjoy the first-ever “Chai Tea Latte,” developed in partnership with the renowned tea brand Afternoon Tea. This delightful drink is priced at 198 yen (tax included: 213 yen) and will be available at approximately 16,400 FamilyMart locations nationwide.

A Perfect Winter Beverage

In collaboration with Afternoon Tea, which is operated by Ivy Company, this new Chai Tea Latte aims to provide a warm, flavorful drink fit for winter. Since its initial collaboration in 2019, FamilyMart has expanded its offerings under the Afternoon Tea brand to include various products, including sweets, bread, frappes, and beverages. The bottled drink series has notably become a bestseller, achieving over 370 million units sold since its launch in May 2021.

The Essence of Chai

The Chai Tea Latte marks the introduction of this rich and aromatic drink from India to FamilyMart’s chilled cup segment. Chai is traditionally made by steeping black tea in milk with a variety of spices. This new Chai Tea Latte includes a generous 50% fresh milk content, complemented by an authentic spice blend featuring ginger, cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Upon sipping, customers will experience an immediate burst of spice aroma, followed by the creamy sweetness of milk, and the deep flavor of black tea that lingers at the finish.

Expert Crafting

According to Afternoon Tea, the classic chai served in their tea rooms is a customer favorite, served meticulously in original teapots and bowls. They emphasized that the development of the Chai Tea Latte involved extensive testing to ensure the perfect balance of tea and milk alongside an expertly curated spice blend. This effort was aimed at delivering a taste that would appeal not only to chai enthusiasts but to all consumers seeking a rich drinking experience.
