Two customers enter a Starbucks cafe in Shanghai yesterday. Starbucks Corp yesterday said it will raise prices on certain coffee products in China from today to offset higher cost. The price increase, ranging from 1 yuan (16 US cents) to 2 yuan, will mainly cover "several" coffee drinks, including espresso-based beverages and fresh-brewed coffees. Price of food items, tea drinks and blended beverages such as hot chocolate and juice will remain unchanged.
