China’s coffee battles are frothing over. Startup Luckin will partner with Meituan Dianping or coffee delivery, the South China Morning Post reported Tuesday, citing “people familiar with the situation.”

In August, Starbucks announced a partnership with Ele.me, the delivery giant owned by Alibaba.

If the cooperation goes forward, users will be able to order Luckin Coffee’s products on Meituan’s app, according to SCMP’s unnamed source. Luckin already delivers coffees via Chinese courier SF Express, but Meituan’s delivery infrastructure is more advanced – and is a major Ele.me rival.

Competition between coffee chains heated up in May after Luckin vowed to sue Starbucks over allegations of unfair competition.
