Hot Smoothie Apple & Ginger

Fruit Vinegar Hot Calamansi Peach
We've combined the beautiful vinegar of calamansi with Gong Cha's original peach sauce. Calamansi is a citrus fruit widely grown mainly in Southeast Asia, and is characterized by its refreshing acidity and fragrance. It is rich in vitamin C, and one serving of this product provides the same amount of vitamin C as approximately three lemons*. The addition of peach sauce gives it a gentle sweetness and fruity taste. *Lemon is calculated as juice
※Does not contain konjac jelly.
■What is "Fruit Vinegar"?
This drink combines "Bisu," a drinkable vinegar made from 100% fermented fruit juice with Gong Cha's original fruit sauce. This vinegar drink, which has been gaining attention in recent years for its health benefits, including fatigue recovery, has been given a unique Gong Cha twist. Since its release in July of this year, this popular drink has become one of our main menu items, as it can be enjoyed by anyone, regardless of age or gender.
The iced Fruit Vinegar comes in two flavors: "Milk" and "Soda." Each flavor comes in "Pomegranate" and "Calamansi." Now, with the addition of the winter-only "Fruit Vinegar Hot Calamansi Peach," you can choose between hot and iced. *Product availability may differ for delivery orders.
■About Gong Cha
One of the world's leading global tea brands
In China, the birthplace of tea, there was an ancient custom of presenting the rarest, highest quality tea to the emperor. This was called "Gong Cha," or tribute tea, and was greatly beloved by the emperor. The "Gong Cha" brand embodies our desire to allow people to enjoy the same high-quality tea loved by the Chinese emperor in a modern, casual way. Gong Cha was founded with this idea in mind in 2006, and currently operates more than 1,400 stores worldwide. The first Japanese store opened in Tokyo in 2015, and the company currently operates 80 stores. (As of November 11, 2020)
The concept is an "Asian cafe" that offers Asian food culture.
At Gong Cha, we change the water temperature and brewing time for each type of tea leaf to allow our customers to savor the true deliciousness of tea, which has a very delicate aroma and flavor.We offer a high-quality tea menu that focuses on aroma and freshness, as well as drinks and food menus with an Asian identity, and we aim to provide the intangible value of spending time with "Gong Cha."
