Tea Venture is Gongcha’s global campaign that blends Gongcha tea with representative items from each country to introduce new menu items. Since August, new menus themed around Korea’s ‘Peach’, the USA’s ‘Red Velvet Cake’, and France’s ‘Mont Blanc’ have been sequentially introduced. The final Tea Venture new menu items to be available in Italy this year are ‘Coffee Jelly Milk Tea’, ‘Tiramisu Milk Tea + Pearls’, and ‘Tiramisu Smoothie’, released as limited seasonal items.

Coffee Jelly Milk Tea is a drink that combines deep and rich black tea with smooth coffee foam and chewy coffee jelly toppings. The chewy coffee jelly allows you to enjoy the fragrant coffee aroma with every bite, and the savory milk foam mixed with coffee provides a rich and smooth umami flavor that fills your mouth.

Tiramisu Milk Tea + Pearls is a milk tea beverage that combines the soft taste of tiramisu cake with Earl Grey tea, perfectly replicating the visual and flavor of tiramisu cake. On top of Gongcha’s signature cheese foam, chocolate powder is sprinkled like on an actual tiramisu cake, creating a perfect ‘sweet and salty’ combination of savory cheese flavor and sweet chocolate powder. Additionally, chewy tapioca pearls add an even richer texture. It can be enjoyed both hot and iced.

Tiramisu Smoothie is a unique menu item that lets you enjoy tiramisu cake in a cool smoothie form. The cheese foam and chocolate powder reminiscent of tiramisu cake provide a moist and smooth flavor.

The dessert menu item ‘Lady Finger Cookie’ is also launched together. It is the base cookie used as a main ingredient in making tiramisu and has a taste and texture similar to meringue cookies.

To celebrate the launch of the new menu, Gongcha Korea is holding a ‘Find Hidden Italy at Gongcha!’ QR event. The event runs for 13 days from the 21st of this month to the 3rd of next month. During the event period, customers can participate by scanning the mission QR code hidden in stores and finding Italy’s landmark, the ‘Leaning Tower of Pisa’. Each person can attempt up to twice a day and participate every day during the event period.
