Background and Concept

Since its founding in 2016, TEA FACTORY GEN has pursued the exploration of tea’s possibilities and appeal. This drink embodies that philosophy.

At a time when tea consumption among younger generations is declining, the project was born from a desire to communicate the value of tea to a wider audience in new forms.
Availability

Available at CAN-PANY Tokyo as well as select stores across Japan, including Hiroshima, Nagano, Yokohama, Fukuoka, Shizuoka, Kochi, and Kagawa.

Combining the strengths of each partner and using only natural ingredients, “SUPER NATURAL – Basil & Tea” is a drink designed for everyday refreshment and outdoor moments.
