Architectural inspiration and exclusive offerings

The Shalu Beishih Store showcases a unique architectural design inspired by the surrounding ocean waves and mountains. The building’s arched roof symbolises the rhythmic progression of waves along the coastline and the majestic cascade of nearby mountains.

In addition to being a visual spectacle, the store offers exclusive merchandise tailored to reflect the distinctive architecture and surroundings. Starbucks enthusiasts can also get their hands on a specially designed Starbucks Card that captures the essence of the Shalu Beishih Store.

Local flavour in a cup

Alongside these eco-friendly endeavours, Starbucks has introduced a new beverage to its menu – the Brown Sugar Kuzuko Jelly Iced Shaken Black Tea Latte.

Drawing inspiration from the local environment, this refreshing drink combines the flavours of brown sugar Kuzuko, reminiscent of the autumn season, with a matcha milk foam that visually mirrors the nearby mountains.
