Kung Fu Tea has partnered with WildBrain to launch a limited-edition Strawberry Shortcake drinks series inspired by the beloved character. This nostalgic collaboration introduces four strawberry-flavored beverages, each served in bright, themed cups. As such, the collection is designed to evoke memories of the iconic cartoon while offering a modern twist with refreshing new recipes.
Among the offerings is the 'Strawberry Shortcake Delight', which "combines fresh strawberries with a slush base, topped with a foamy matcha milk cap for a unique taste while the 'Strawberry Dreams Milk Tea' features strawberry-infused tea paired with boba pearls, delivering a rich, berry-flavored experience." For those who prefer non-tea options, the 'Berry Bliss Lemonade' and 'Strawberry Lemon Canned Sparkling Drink' provide a tangy and refreshing alternative without caffeine.
As a bonus, every purchase includes a limited-edition scratch-and-sniff sticker sheet. Additionally, Kung Fu Tea is hosting a sweepstakes "for a chance to win a $100 boba gift card, exclusive collectibles, and other surprises." The Strawberry Shortcake collection will be available through March 31.
