Festival Character Tea: Chagee × Miffy
From 24 Sept 2026 Chagee rolls out a nationwide Mid-Autumn osmanthus series with Miffy (米菲): drinks include 桂馥兰香冰酿, 桂馥芭乐冰酿, 桂馥秋梨冰奶, and 桂馥兰香, plus sticker / fridge-magnet / plush merch. Character IP meets festival tea — promo art not copied here.
Anime Coffee Merch: Luckin × Link Click
Luckin Coffee’s mid-Sept 2026 Link Click (时光代理人) wave paired a returning salty-cheese soy milk trio with pocket-watch and badge merch — café counters briefly became anime queues.
Disney Villains Apple Party: Luckin × Disney
On 10 Aug 2026 Luckin Coffee launched Apple Party with Disney villains (Evil Queen, Maleficent, Cruella, Ursula)—Aksu apple latte / Americano / iced tea plus dark-fairy merch, riding the Chinese “stepmother tea party” meme.
Healing Yogurt Wave: Nayuki × soft illustrator IPs
Nayuki’s Aug 2026 “yuy” yogurt-smoothie drop (and earlier McDull Children’s Day) shows healing / nostalgia IPs still spark queues and merch floods after some top-tier IP spend was trimmed.
Otome Queues: Love and Deepspace Tea Drop
A first major tea collab for the otome game’s five leads (via Molly Tea) crashed mini-programs and stacked long cup queues — water-reactive cards fueled UGC that outlived the SKU window.
