\nGreen tea-flavored Coca-Cola<\/strong> will hit Japanese stores June 8, Coca Cola (Japan) Co.<\/strong> spokesman Katsuya Sato said. It contains tea antioxidants called catechins, leaves a slight green tea aftertaste and is mainly targeted at health-conscious women in their 20s and 30s, Sato said.<\/p>\n

"We wanted to cater to people who are looking for something that tastes good but is also good for health and beauty," he said.<\/p>\n

Coca Cola<\/strong> is the leader in Japan’s cola market but faces stiff competition from non-carbonated bottled drinks such as tea, coffee and fruit juices.<\/p>\n

Rival Pepsi Cola<\/strong> is countering with another exotic cola \u2014 Japanese basil-flavored "Pepsi Shiso,"<\/strong> which hits stores in late June.
