Sake High!, the trailblazing sake brand known for its innovative canned beverages, is proud to unveil its newest creation: Hard Teas, a groundbreaking line of sake-based drinks inspired by Japanese teas and ingredients. Launching exclusively in California on April 7, this collection redefines hard teas with bold flavors, curated artwork, and a commitment to clean enjoyment.
Crafted with no added sugar, these teas are brewed with premium junmai sake and infused with natural Japanese-inspired ingredients like matcha, ginger, and hibiscus. Perfect for all-day and all-night enjoyment, they offer a refreshing alternative to cocktails without compromising on flavor or quality. The initial lineup includes White Tea Peach, Ceremonial Matcha Lemon, Hibiscus Lime, and Ginger Pear.
Each flavor is paired with curated graphics by Chicago artist Griffin Goodman, whose designs draw from Japanese tea aesthetics and vibrant color palettes. These visuals will be featured across packaging and promotional campaigns, including static posts for each flavor and biography videos highlighting their unique profiles.
“This launch is a celebration of tradition meeting innovation,” said Brenna Turner, Co-Founder of Sake High!. “Our Hard Teas bring the craftsmanship of Japanese tea culture into the modern ready-to-drink space. They’re light, refreshing, and perfect for any occasion.”
The teas will initially be distributed across California before expanding to other markets.
