Kung Fu Tea has teamed up with Care Bears for a limited-time collaboration that channels Y2K nostalgia with four character-inspired bubble tea creations and themed packaging.
The menu includes Taro Tantrum Slush, the floral Cheery Rosehip Slush, tropical Mango Clouds Milk Tea, and Matcha Luck Milk Tea, which features sweet honeydew notes.
Each drink is finished with a silky cheesecake milk cap and a sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs for added texture and visual appeal.
To celebrate the launch, Kung Fu Tea is running a social media giveaway and offering customers a chance to win a Care Bears bundle plus $100 in Boba Credit through the Kung Fu Tea app.
The limited-edition Care Bears collection will be available from March 26 to April 30, 2026.
