CHAGEE has teamed up with collectible toy brand POP MART and its character Hacipupu to launch a limited-edition Green Grape Milk Tea. The drink combines Xinjiang emerald grapes with Zhejiang green tea, served with or without milk, and is low in calories, supporting CHAGEE’s wellness-focused image.
The collaboration is paired with a tennis-themed pop-up, 'CHAGEE’s Little Champion,' featuring interactive games, tea tastings, photo ops, and merch customization. Fans can collect themed items, such as pins, squishies, bottles, and keychains, which encourages social sharing and repeat visits. The campaign also includes a “Dream Stamp Collection Journey” for prize redemptions.
“This is more than just a campaign. It shows how CHAGEE can create moments that people enjoy together across our markets," said Li Simeng, Director of Branding and Marketing for CHAGEE APAC
