Gong cha has introduced a limited-time 'Pistachio Drink Series' to mark the start of 2026, expanding its menu with seasonal offerings centered on pistachio and white chocolate flavors. The series is available from January 6 through February 28, while supplies last, and includes two specialty beverages designed to highlight layered textures and dessert-inspired profiles.
Both drinks are made with pistachio white chocolate syrup and are finished with pistachio milk foam and a drizzle of milk chocolate. The 'Pistachio White Chocolate Milk Tea' pairs the flavored syrup with creamy milk tea served over ice, creating a balanced and layered drinking experience. The 'Pistachio White Chocolate Smoothie' offers a blended alternative, combining pistachio and white chocolate flavors into a smooth, chilled beverage.
Pricing varies by location, with suggested retail prices of approximately $6.00 for a medium milk tea and $6.50 for a medium smoothie.
