Sokenbicha facts for kids
Sokenbicha (which means "refreshing, healthy, and beautiful tea" in Japanese) is a special kind of blended tea brand from Japan. It's made by a very famous company called The Coca-Cola Company. This tea first came out in Japan in 1993. Later, in October 2010, people in the United States could also buy it.
What is Sokenbicha Tea?
In the United States, Sokenbicha teas are inspired by an old Japanese health idea called Kampo. Kampo is a traditional Japanese way of using natural plants and herbs for well-being. Sokenbicha worked with a big Kampo company in Japan called Nihondo to create these teas. All Sokenbicha teas are unsweetened and have zero calories, which means they have no sugar and no extra energy from food. They usually come in bottles that are about 15.2 fluid ounces (or 450 milliliters).
