As one of the most popular game and anime franchises, Pokémon commands a lot of attention from companies and service providers, resulting in an amazing variety of collaborations. We have seen everything from Pokémon-themed glasses, Pikachu and Eevee smartphone accessories, even Pokémon wedding rings and Pikachu panties.
And from February 24th, when you visit Pokémon Centers in Japan, you can also buy Pokémon-themed tea!
A collaboration with the Karel Čapek Tea Shop (which shop founder, writer and illustrator Utako Yamada named after reading a children's tale by the Czech novelist of the same name), these cute tins feature an original illustration by Utako Yamada of Pikachu and friends enjoying a tea party together.
