Introduction:Luckin Coffee celebrated the grand opening of its 30,000th store at the Origin Flagship Store in Shenzhen’s Galaxy Twin Towers by launching six exclusive limited-edition coffee drinks priced at just 15.9 RMB each, along with three pour over coffees that customers can watch being prepared on-site. This article details the unique flavor profiles of these new offerings, highlights from the actual tasting experience, as well as consumer concerns regarding wait times and ingredient availability—bringing you the full scoop on this limited-time trend.
Recently, Luckin Coffee unveiled its new Origin Flagship Store in Shenzhen’s Galaxy Twin Towers, marking the brand’s global milestone of reaching 30,000 stores worldwide. The store number, 30000, holds special commemorative significance. In honor of this major achievement, in addition to its regular bestsellers, the store has introduced six exclusive coffee beverages and three pour over coffees that customers can observe being handcrafted by baristas, attracting numerous coffee enthusiasts who specifically traveled to experience this milestone.
According to the brand’s official mini-program, the six new limited-edition drinks are all priced uniformly at 15.9 RMB, making them an affordable choice compared to the often much pricier creative coffees on the market. Among them, one drink named “Crimson Moonlight” is also available in an alcoholic version, catering to those seeking a lightly tipsy experience. Additionally, the three pour over coffees not only offer a chance to taste but also allow customers to visit the second-floor barista area to closely observe the brewing process and learn about bean selection andpour over extraction parameters, adding to the enjoyment of the coffee tasting experience.
From feedback and photos shared on social media, it’s clear that these limited drinks are not only affordably priced but also thoughtfully designed—with each cup accompanied by a unique informational card that enhances the overall sense of ritual. Many netizens have exclaimed, “You can enjoy premium vibes even at these prices.” In terms of flavor, each limited drink has its own appeal: “The Drunkard” is perfect for those wanting to try the alcoholic version of “Crimson Moonlight”; for those with a sweet tooth, “Apricot Luck” is a great choice; and for fans of bold flavors, options like “Cocoa Concerto” or “Tiramisu Latte” can satisfy diverse palates.
However, due to the buzz surrounding the new store opening and the limited-edition products, many customers reported long wait times, typically needing to wait one to two hours to receive their drinks, making “grab-and-go” difficult. Moreover, some patrons noted that certain limited drinks sold out as early as the morning due to high demand and fast inventory turnover, causing them to miss out. It’s therefore recommended that those planning to visit arrive early or check the day’s stock status in advance to avoid disappointment.
It’s worth noting that these limited-edition products are currently only available at the No. 30000 store in Shenzhen’s Galaxy Twin Towers and have not yet been rolled out nationwide. This has disappointed many customers outside Shenzhen, who have taken to social media urging Luckin to expand these popular drinks to all locations for more equitable access. For Luckin staff, however, this regional exclusivity has become something of a “happy dilemma,” with one employee joking, “Luckily it’s regionally limited—if it went nationwide, we’d be swamped.”
In summary, Luckin’s 30,000th-store limited series not only stands out with its attractive pricing and creative drinks, but also offers an immersive pour over coffee brewing experience that helps customers gain deeper insight into coffee flavors andcoffee bean recommendations. Although currently only available in Shenzhen, it remains a must-visit experience for travelers and coffee lovers in the area, combining taste and photo opportunities. If these offerings are eventually expanded to other cities, they’re sure to spark another wave of check-ins and tasting enthusiasm.
