Do you remember the first time you created a Neopet? For so many of us, that question opens a floodgate of cherished memories. We remember logging on after school, eagerly checking in on our digital companions, and immersing ourselves in the vibrant, whimsical world of Neopia. We battled in the Battledome, tried our luck at the Giant Omelette, and spent hours customizing our Neohomes. Neopets wasn’t just a game; it was a daily ritual, a global community, and a cornerstone of our childhood.
That same sense of community and daily delight is what we strive to create at Gong cha every day. It’s the joy of meeting up with friends, the simple pleasure of a perfectly crafted bubble tea, and the excitement of discovering a new favorite flavor. Now, we are overjoyed to bring these two worlds together in a celebration of shared memories and new adventures.
To honor the incredible 25th anniversary of Neopets, Gong cha is launching an exclusive, limited-time collaboration that brings the magic of Neopia right to your local store. Starting Tuesday, February 10th, get ready to embark on a 30-day journey filled with imaginative drinks, must-have collectibles, and a powerful dose of pure, unadulterated nostalgia. This is more than just a partnership; it’s a celebration of the kid in all of us.
Sip on Adventure with Four Neopets-Inspired Drinks
At the heart of this celebration is a specially curated menu of four Neopets-themed drinks. Our expert tea masters have channeled the spirit of Neopia to craft a lineup that is as delightful to drink as it is to behold. Each beverage is a tribute to a beloved Neopet, blending our signature premium teas and fresh ingredients with a touch of fantasy. For the entire 30-day celebration, you can indulge in these unique creations:
- Shoyru’s Cotton Candy Dream: A whimsical new milk drink (also available as a slush!) that’s as dreamy and delightful as the beloved Neopet it’s named after. Available as a creamy milk drink or a refreshing slush, it’s a magical treat designed to delight your inner child.
- Aisha’s Classic Pearl Milk Tea: Just like the intelligent and mysterious Aisha, our Classic Pearl Milk Tea is a fan favorite for a reason. It’s the perfect, comforting blend of rich black tea, creamy milk, and chewy pearls. A familiar and beloved taste for a familiar and beloved friend.
- Kacheek’s Mango Green Tea Glow: A bright and cheerful blend that’s perfect for a sunny day in Neopia. Say hello to a drink that’s as cheerful and bright as a smiling Kacheek! This vibrant beverage blends our fragrant jasmine green tea with the sweet, tropical flavor of mango, creating a refreshingly bright and sunny experience.
- Bruce’s Strawberry Milk Tea: Inspired by the fun-loving and dapper Bruce, our Strawberry Milk Tea is a smooth, creamy, and utterly delightful blend. The sweet taste of strawberries combined with our fresh milk tea creates a joyful flavor experience that’s sure to put a smile on your face.
These delicious drinks will be featured prominently in-store, making it easy to pick your perfect adventuring companion. They will be prominently featured in all participating stores, so you can easily explore our full menu and choose your magical companion for the day.
