Kochakaden and Sanrio launch 31 limited-edition tea bottles nationwide March 2 2026

Coca‑Cola System's Kochakaden brand has launched its first-ever collaboration with Sanrio Characters, bringing 31 limited-edition bottle designs to stores nationwide from Monday, March 2, 2026. The campaign pairs collectible artwork with six existing and new Kochakaden tea SKUs and is available for a limited time while supplies last.

The collaboration spans six Kochakaden tea products: Kochakaden Royal Milk Tea (440ml PET / 280ml PET); Kochakaden Unsweetened Earl Grey Ice Tea (650ml PET); the two new fruit additions Kochakaden Gensen Shibori Peach Tea (440ml PET) and Kochakaden Gensen Shibori Apple Tea (440ml PET / 280ml PET); and two Okinawa area-limited offerings, Kochakaden Garden Lemon Tea (500ml PET) and Kochakaden Garden Shekwasha Tea (500ml PET). Both new fruit teas carry a limited-edition Kuromi collaboration packaging design.

The new fruit series emphasizes fruit-forward ingredients: "The new series highlights the natural juiciness of carefully selected fruits — using peach juice and domestic peach extract for the Peach Tea, and apple juice and apple extract for the Apple Tea." Nutrition values published for Kochakaden Gensen Shibori Peach Tea list energy at 16 kcal, protein 0 g, fat 0 g, carbohydrates 4 g, salt 0 g, niacin 1.3 mg, pantothenic acid 0.4–2.47 mg, and vitamin B6 0.1–0.3 mg.

Artwork across the rollout features Sanrio characters in tea-drinking scenes, explicitly including Kuromi and Hapidanbui. "The collaboration spans six Kochakaden tea products, each featuring artwork depicting Sanrio's beloved characters — including Kuromi and Hapidanbui — enjoying Kochakaden tea in various scenes." In practice that means 31 unique designs are spread across the six SKUs; all 31 bottle designs are available for a limited time while supplies last, and some stores may not carry all varieties.

Packaging imagery accompanying the launch highlights both 440ml and 280ml PET variants for select SKUs and includes repeated photo captions reading "Right: 280ml PET front and back." Collectors and gifters should note the two Okinawa area-limited SKUs, Garden Lemon Tea and Garden Shekwasha Tea, are listed specifically as 500ml PET regionals and may not appear in mainland nationwide outlets.

Kochakaden Teams Up with Sanrio Characters for the First Time — 31 Limited Collab Bottle Designs Available from March 2 marks a clear push into character-driven limited editions for the Coca‑Cola System's tea line. For anyone buying a small, deliberate gift for a Sanrio fan or a design-minded friend, the Kuromi-packaged Gensen Shibori Peach Tea and Apple Tea offer the clearest collectible angle; because the run is limited, availability will vary by store and shoppers should expect some designs to disappear quickly.
