There are some drink launches that feel more like a small celebration than just another menu update, and this latest release from LiHO TEA is exactly one of those moments. Starting from 18 June 2026 onwards, a new themed collection called the Playtime Sketches Collection is rolling out across all outlets in Singapore, bringing together playful design, familiar character inspiration, and two brand-new oolong-based drinks that are designed to be both comforting and refreshing at the same time.
For anyone who enjoys bubble tea not just as a drink but as a little treat during a busy day, this is one of those releases worth paying attention to. It is not just about flavour, but also about the overall experience from the packaging to the collectible sleeves, and even the small optional add-ons that change how each cup feels.
A themed release that feels more like an experience
What makes this particular launch stand out is how it leans into creativity and nostalgia. Inspired by Disney and Pixar’s Toy Story universe, the Playtime Sketches Collection adds a fun twist to everyday tea drinking. While the drinks remain grounded in familiar oolong tea bases, the presentation and branding bring in a sense of playfulness that makes each order feel slightly different from the usual routine.
For regular bubble tea fans in Singapore, this kind of collaboration is not new, but what makes this one interesting is the rotational cupsleeve feature. Each drink comes with an exclusive sleeve design that can be turned to reveal different sketch-style visuals. It adds a collectible feel without needing to purchase anything extra, which is something many fans tend to appreciate.
Two new drinks built around roasted oolong tea
The highlight of this launch is the introduction of two new drinks, each designed to suit different preferences while still staying within the oolong tea theme.
The first is the Aliens Lemon Oooolong, a bright and refreshing drink that blends fresh lemon with roasted oolong tea. The result is something zesty and slightly tangy, balanced by the deep roasted notes of the tea base. It is the kind of drink that works well on a hot day in Singapore, especially when something lighter and more refreshing is preferred over creamy or heavy options.
The second drink is the Space Ranger Milkyway, which takes a different direction entirely. This version is a roasted oolong tea latte, offering a smoother and creamier profile. It leans towards a more comforting taste, with a gentle roasted aroma that pairs well with milk. It is not overly sweet, which makes it suitable for those who prefer something more balanced rather than dessert-like bubble teas.
Both drinks are part of the same themed collection but cater to different moods. One is bright and citrus-forward, while the other is soft and milky. That contrast makes the launch more versatile, allowing different customers to find something that suits their taste.
Optional add-on for extra flavour
For those who enjoy a little extra texture or fragrance in their drinks, there is also an optional add-on available: Osmanthus Chew Chew. This addition brings a floral sweetness that complements both new drinks without overpowering them. Osmanthus is often used in teas for its light floral aroma, and in this case, it adds a subtle layer that makes the drink feel slightly more premium.
It is not a mandatory upgrade, but for those who like experimenting with flavour combinations, it is a simple way to enhance the overall experience without changing the core drink too much.
Collectible cupsleeves that add a playful touch
One of the most talked-about features of this campaign is the exclusive rotational cupsleeve. Instead of a standard static design, the sleeve can be rotated to reveal different Playtime Sketch visuals inspired by Toy Story characters.
This small interactive detail makes the drink feel more engaging, especially for fans who enjoy collecting themed merchandise. It also adds a sense of surprise, as each rotation reveals a different design element. For many customers, this kind of collectible packaging becomes part of the appeal, sometimes even more memorable than the drink itself.
Why this launch is worth checking out
At first glance, this might look like another limited-time drink campaign, but there are a few reasons why it stands out compared to regular seasonal releases.
First, the combination of roasted oolong tea with both citrus and milk-based variations gives a nice balance of options. It is not just a sugar-heavy release, which makes it more appealing for those who prefer tea-forward drinks.
Second, the collectible aspect adds value without requiring additional spending. The cupsleeve design is included with each drink, which makes it feel like a bonus rather than an upsell.
Third, the availability across all outlets in Singapore makes it easy to access. There is no need to travel to a specific location or pop-up store, which is often the case with limited collaborations.
Finally, the timing is ideal for anyone looking for a small mid-year treat. Whether it is a quick break during work or a casual weekend outing, this kind of themed drink release adds a bit of fun to everyday routines.
Ordering convenience through the app
Another practical tip worth noting is the option to order through the LiHO TEA app. This helps reduce waiting time, especially during peak hours when new launches tend to attract queues. For those who prefer a quicker pickup experience, this is a useful feature that can make the visit smoother.
In a busy city like Singapore, convenience often plays a big role in food and beverage choices, and this option helps make the experience more efficient.
Final thoughts
Overall, this Playtime Sketches Collection is not just about introducing two new drinks. It is about creating a small moment of enjoyment that combines flavour, design, and a bit of nostalgia. Whether someone prefers fruity teas or creamy lattes, there is something in this release that fits different preferences.
For fans of themed collaborations or simply those who enjoy trying new bubble tea flavours, this is one of those limited-time launches that is easy to enjoy without much effort. Since it is available while stocks last, it is the kind of promotion that is better experienced earlier rather than later.
