Product Launch - On May 31, Luckin Coffee announced the launch of its first vegetable and fruit juice product, priced at 29 yuan, with a promotional price of 9.9 yuan [2]. - The product is made from frozen kale, mixed fruit juice, jasmine tea, and syrup, indicating it is not freshly squeezed [2]. Market Positioning - The introduction of vegetable and fruit tea aligns with Luckin's strategy of combining coffee and tea, creating a "morning coffee, afternoon tea" positioning to broaden consumption scenarios [2]. - Luckin aims to leverage its supply chain advantages to standardize the production of vegetable and fruit tea, allowing for easier assembly at stores without the need for extensive preparation [2].

Pricing Strategy - Luckin Coffee's vegetable and fruit tea is the cheapest among major brands, potentially attracting price-sensitive consumers [6]. - However, the health narrative associated with fresh-squeezed products is a significant factor in consumer preferences, which may limit Luckin's appeal despite its lower price [6]. Market Challenges - The tea and coffee market is highly competitive, with a significant number of new store openings and closures reported recently [6]. - Luckin must invest more time and resources into product innovation and understanding consumer demand in the new tea beverage market to succeed [6].
