Unique Properties: draws inspiration from the Chinese quintessence of Mahjong. The combination of Mahjong and coffee is full of gamification, making the coffee packaging more interesting. Mahjong is becoming more and more popular among young people, so the font design of Mahjong is more youthful, and the color is boldly matched, orange-red - food color. A bag of coffee is exactly one month's supply, which is two hands of cards. One hand of cards is designed to be a good hand in the hope of bringing good luck to the buyer, and the other hand needs to be completed by the buyer through the interactive action of drinking coffee every time, which has the attributes of a blind box. It increases playability and repurchase.
