About Master Kong Iced Tea
Master Kong Iced Tea is among the largest ready-to-drink tea brands in China, a market where packaged tea sells in far greater volume than carbonated drinks. It is sold in bottles through the same distribution network as the noodles. Its green tea and jasmine varieties are sweetened, which is standard for packaged tea in China and differs sharply from the unsweetened Japanese equivalents.
