Dragon Ball Z’s New Green Tea Collab Features Collectible Bottles and Exclusive Merch
A new collaboration between green tea brand Ayataka and Dragon Ball Z is set to give fans the chance to collect exclusive packaging and earn limited-edition rewards through a nationwide promotional campaign.
The campaign centers around specially designed Ayataka bottles featuring some of Dragon Ball Z’s most recognizable characters, transforming the popular tea into a collectible item for fans of the anime.
Dragon Ball Z remains one of the most influential anime series ever produced, following Goku and his allies as they defend Earth from increasingly powerful threats while searching for the legendary Dragon Balls.
Over the decades, the franchise has become a global phenomenon, with its characters, battles, and transformations continuing to resonate with multiple generations of fans.
The Ayataka x Dragon Ball Z collaboration brings that enduring popularity to store shelves through a series of seven unique bottle designs featuring Son Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Cell, Trunks, Frieza, and Majin Buu.
Fans will be able to hunt for their favorite characters or attempt to complete the full seven-bottle collection while enjoying Ayataka’s signature green tea blend, which is crafted to deliver a flavor reminiscent of traditionally brewed tea prepared in a kyusu teapot.
Each participating bottle includes a QR code on the label that can be scanned using a smartphone to access the campaign website and begin collecting points.
Fans can earn one point per qualifying bottle each day, with points redeemable for entry into prize draws featuring exclusive Dragon Ball Z merchandise unavailable through regular retail channels.
One-point entries offer a chance to win an original Dragon Ball Z-themed QUO prepaid gift card worth ¥1,000 (approx. $7 USD/ £5 GBP), with seven different character designs available and 10,000 winners planned throughout the promotion.
Fans who accumulate seven points can enter for the opportunity to win an Ayataka original Dragon Ball Z wireless speaker, with 1,000 units set aside as prizes.
An additional bonus drawing will award 30 PayPay points to 89,000 winners during the campaign period.
The collaboration also includes an instant-purchase promotion available at participating supermarkets, drugstores, and discount retailers.
Customers who buy four bottles of qualifying Ayataka or Ayataka Café products at participating locations can receive one exclusive Dragon Ball Z mesh and clear pouch while supplies last.
The pouch collection consists of four different designs showcasing memorable scenes and popular characters from the anime.
Combining transparent and mesh materials, the pouches are designed to be both practical for everyday use and visually appealing for collectors.
The bottle promotion will run from June 29, 2026, through October 11, 2026, while the pouch giveaway begins on June 29, 2026, and continues until retailer allocations are exhausted.
The seven-design “Ayataka Dragon Ball Z Limited Design Bottle” collection will launch on June 29, 2026, through supermarkets, convenience stores, drugstores, vending machines, and other retailers across Japan.
The 650 ml Ayataka Dragon Ball Z bottles carry a suggested retail price of ¥220 before tax (approx. $2 USD/ £1 GBP) and will serve as the primary entry method for the promotion’s prize draws and collectible packaging series.
