Green tea-flavoured Coca-Cola hit Japanese stores earlier this month.

The drink, which contains catechins, leaves a slight green tea aftertaste and is aimed at health-conscious women in their 20s and 30s, according to the company.
Coca Cola is the leader in Japan’s cola market but faces strong competition from non-carbonated bottled drinks such as tea, coffee and fruit juices. Rival Pepsi Cola is hitting back with an exotic cola of its own – Japanese basil-flavoured Pepsi Shiso, which hits stores at the end of this month.
