Ichitan Partners with Thai Coco to Launch Coconut-Infused Herbal Tea
Ichitan Group is expanding its beverage portfolio by collaborating with Thai Coco to produce a new coconut-infused herbal tea, aiming to stimulate market demand.
According to a report by Khaosod Online Thailand on September 9, 2026, Ichitan Group has announced a strategic partnership with Thai Coco to launch a new product: 'Yen Yen Coconut Fragrant Herbal Tea.' The initiative utilizes over 100 tons of aromatic coconuts to produce an initial batch of 2 million bottles.
Tan Passakornnatee, CEO of Ichitan Group, stated that despite market fluctuations, the beverage sector remains resilient. He emphasized that consumer behavior is evolving, with a growing preference for premium and health-conscious products, particularly those with reduced sugar content. By diversifying its product portfolio, Ichitan aims to mitigate market risks and maintain consumer interest through continuous innovation and marketing.
For residents and travelers in Thailand, this development highlights a broader trend toward premium, health-oriented beverages in the local market. As companies like Ichitan shift their focus toward higher-value, health-focused ingredients, consumers may see a wider variety of such products appearing on retail shelves. While the initial production run is set at 2 million bottles, it remains to be confirmed how quickly this product will be distributed nationwide and whether it will become a permanent fixture in Ichitan’s long-term product lineup. The company continues to monitor market responses to determine future production scales.
