New York-based Kung Fu Tea (KFT) and Spirit Halloween, Egg Harbor Township, N.J., are joining forces to serve up new treats this Halloween season.
The collaboration includes five exclusive costumes and a new, limited-time beverage inspired by all things Spirit, so consumers can fuel up and go code orange all October with a beverage that isn't just pumpkin spice, the companies say.
“We couldn’t be more excited to jump in on the excitement of the Halloween season alongside this iconic brand,” said Matthew Poveromo, marketing manager at Kung Fu Tea, in a statement. “Not only can our KFT loyalists get dressed up head-to-toe in the first ever Kung Fu Tea costumes, but they can celebrate like never before by sipping on our delicious Spirit Spooky Slush featuring our new Taro Milk Cap — it’s a must try this fall for any Kung Fu Tea guests.”
Kym Sarkos, executive vice president and general merchandise manager at Spirit Halloween, added: “We love teaming up with brands that our customers are passionate about and finding new ways for fans to experience the products they love most. This collaboration with Kung Fu Tea is exciting for us as we’re debuting the first ever Spirit Halloween-inspired drink. Our fans are crazy about Kung Fu Tea, and we can’t wait to see them dressed up like their favorite bubble tea while they enjoy a Spirit Spooky Slush this October.”
