Georgia (drink)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Georgia (ジョージア Jōjia) is the name of a popular brand of coffee-flavored beverages sold by The Coca-Cola Company. It was launched in 1975 by Coca-Cola (Japan) Company, a Japanese subsidiary of the company. It has since expanded to markets in Singapore, India and Bahrain. Georgia enjoys the most success in Japan, where it is the highest-grossing coffee beverage. It is also the highest-grossing beverage by Coca-Cola (Japan) Company. As of 2007, in Japan, Georgia's sales double the sales of Coca-Cola.[1] Georgia is one of many brands of Japanese Canned Coffee. Ironically, despite being produced by the Atlanta, Georgia-based Coca-Cola company, Georgia coffee is not sold within Georgia. This is due to the fact that there is simply no market for canned coffee in the United States.
Although there are many seasonal blends, Coca-Cola makes Original, Mocha Kilamanjaro, and Emerald Mountain Blend year-round. The coffee can be enjoyed as a cold or hot beverage.
Here is a sample list of the Georgia blends:
