    For questions 1-5, please  refer to the following   text. Coca-Cola Co. KO -8.44%  reported  slightly  stronger-than-expected revenue  for its latest quarter,  boosted   by demand  for tea, coffee, water and sports  drinks,  but the  beverage company  expects  sales will slow down  this year. Tea and coffee  sales volume  rose 3% in the quarter,  driven  by the growth of Fuze Tea in Europe  and a new line of ready-to-drink coffee  in Japan. Water, enhanced water  and sports  drinks  increased 1%. Soda declined 1%, while juice,  dairy and plant-based beverages declined   2%. In the quarter,  North  America  soda sales volume  took  a 1% hit from  price increases, despite  higher  demand  for Coca-Cola Zero Sugar and Sprite. The company  has been focusing  on higher  margins  over volume  gains. Soda sales have been sliding  for  much of the  past decade  as consumers have turned  to bottled  water  and flavored  seltzer. Overall,  Coca-Cola's net revenue  declined   6% to $7.1 billion  for the quarter, as a result of foreign-currency  headwinds and the refranchising of company-owned  bottling   operations. Analysts  polled  by Refinitiv  had expected  sales of $7.03  billion. Source: The Wall Street Journal 1)  What Asian drink  was responsible for the  rise in tea and coffee  sales in the quarter?
