Flavors of Coca-Cola Produced in China – Complete Overview
Flavors of Coca-Cola Produced in China – Complete Overview
All carbonated drinks under the Coca-Cola brand portfolio are manufactured locally by Coca-Cola bottlers across China, including three core lines: Coca-Cola, Sprite and Fanta. For over a century, recipes have been continuously localized for Chinese consumers. From classic original flavours and sugar-free variants to innovative seasonal fruit flavours, there is a taste to suit every preference. Below is a full list of regularly available flavours with descriptions (excluding short-term limited-edition discontinued releases).
I. Coca-Cola Brand Carbonated Drinks
- Coca-Cola Original Taste The iconic flagship flavour. Rich caramel notes paired with a signature spice base, strong carbonation and a full-bodied sweetness. The classic pairing for barbecues and gatherings. Available nationwide in 330ml cans, 500ml, 1.25L and 2L bottles.
- Coca-Cola Zero Sugar Zero sugar, zero fat and zero calories. Formulated with sweeteners to replicate the aroma of original Coca-Cola with similar bubbly intensity, ideal for sugar-conscious consumers and the most widely circulated sugar-free Coke.
- Coca-Cola Plus Fibre (Zero Sugar) Zero sugar formula fortified with dietary fibre. Delivers a lighter mouthfeel and less sticky aftertaste compared with regular sugary soda, catering to demand for a lighter beverage option.
- Coca-Cola Vanilla Classic Coke base blended with mellow vanilla cream aroma. The smooth flavour balances the heaviness of caramel, and the fragrance stands out when chilled.
- Coca-Cola Peach Sweet fresh peach aroma infused into Coke. The fruit flavour is gentle and well-integrated, offering a refreshing sweetness.
Note: Coca-Cola Cherry is rarely available as a regular domestic product in China; it is mostly imported or sold as a limited offer and therefore excluded from the standard domestic lineup.
II. Sprite Brand Carbonated Drinks
- Sprite Original Lemon-Lime (Sugared) Caffeine-free lemon-lime soda with well-balanced tartness and sweetness. Ultra-refreshing and excellent for cutting through rich food, a summer essential.
- Sprite Zero Sugar Lemon-Lime Zero sugar, zero fat. Retains the bright lemon fragrance of the original version with crisp carbonation without sugar.
- Sprite Plus Fibre (Zero Sugar Lemon-Lime) Zero sugar with added dietary fibre for an even lighter taste, suitable for consumers who avoid overly sweet drinks.
- Sprite Tea Lemon Tea Flavour An innovative carbonated drink combining soda with black tea notes. Bright lemon aroma paired with subtle tea astringency.
III. Fanta Fruit-Flavoured Soda (Regular Domestic Flavours, including newly launched Grapefruit)
Fanta features a wide range of vibrant fruit flavours, mostly available in sugared versions; Orange also comes in zero sugar. The all-new Grapefruit flavour launched in 2026.
- Fanta Orange (Sugared & Zero Sugar) Fanta’s signature bestseller. Intense fresh orange aroma with full carbonation and instant recognizability. The zero sugar variant preserves authentic orange notes without added sugar.
- Fanta Apple Bright green apple fragrance with mild, balanced tartness and clean fruit flavour, refreshing and not overly sweet.
- Fanta Peach Rich ripe peach aroma with soft, pleasant sweetness, widely popular among consumers.
- Fanta Grape Deep purple grape flavour with concentrated fruit notes and prominent sweetness, distinctive in both taste and appearance.
- Fanta Watermelon Juicy fresh watermelon aroma that brings a strong summer vibe with light natural sweetness.
- Fanta Jasmine Peach Complex blended flavour: sweet peach matched with delicate jasmine floral notes for multi-layered taste, easily recognised by its blue packaging.
- Fanta Grapefruit (New Arrival, 330ml cans & bottles) The latest regular domestic flavour. Fresh grapefruit delivers subtle tartness and a gentle aftertaste. Well-balanced sweetness and citrus brightness without heavy cloying sweetness, perfect for those who prefer slightly tangy fruit soda.
Supplementary Notes

- Seasonal limited editions and cross-border co-branded flavours are produced for short periods only and do not belong to permanent regular products.
- All zero sugar variants use approved sweetener blends to meet growing consumer demand for low-sugar and sugar-free options.
