Here's how it works:

Coca Cola Japan is giving away a bottle of its new tea to 100,000 people on a first-come-first-served basis.

To get one, you need to copy that bar code into your cellphone on that website, which I'm sure will also be all over Japan in the printed media. This will be your free coupon.

Then you go to your nearest Coke vending machine that accepts payment thru cellphone and hold up your cellphone to it. The vending machine will recognize the coupon and give you your free tea.

Coca-Cola makes tea? o.O


The color of the sala flower reveals the truth that is... To flourish is to fall. The proud do not endure.

Heaven or Hell, Let's Rock!

Like a passing dream on a night in Spring. The mighty fall at last, to be no more than dust before the wind.

Wow...

I was saying to myself "wow, you can pay a vending machine with your cell phone in Japan?" and here you are saying "Coca-Cola makes tea?"

Why not? You'd be a fool if you ran a beverage company in Japan and didn't make tea. Dontcha think? Whatever sells, you produce.

Wow! Do they have a certain flavor that only coca-cola makes?



From the sky, To the ground
Rain is falling all around
Thunder rain and wind
A song of storms begins

Play a song, A melody
Then everybody will see
The hero of time
Has come

A lot of companies produce canned and bottled teas in Japan and there's fierce competition among them. They are constantly trying to create "new" flavors by combining different brands of teas and/or roasting the tea leaves in new ways. Coca Cola is no exception. It introduces a new flavor almost twice a year but very few products last a year in reality. So you can say that Coca Cola has a flavor that only Coca Cola makes, but then again you can say the same about any other beverage company.

Pics of two top-selling lines of tea by Coca Cola. (It produces 7-8 lines in total.)

Yeah, the size variety itself should prove how much tea we drink over here.

As for the flavors, the top one is a mixure of several different teas and several different herbs. It tastes what we call "easy to drink", meaning it's gotta a very mild flavor. Young people seem to like it.

The bottom one is straight green tea. You wil probably find it bitter if you aren't used to drinking Japanese tea.

Just in case you didn't know...

Coca Cola Japan produces tons of canned coffees as well and I think you will like its brand name.
