Centered around the waters of Tampa Bay itself, the area combines beaches, historic neighborhoods, modern development, and a strong connection to the Gulf of Mexico.

You Are Here – Leipzig (Prototype)

Posted on

You may remember the post I shared earlier this month about an ultra-rare, never-released mug from Korea. At the time, I mentioned that the private collection being offered for sale included several mugs that appear to be pre-production samples created before the final designs went into manufacturing. One piece that particularly caught my attention is this You Are Here Leipzig (prototype) mug, which was recently sold on eBay.

What makes this mug fascinating is that it appears to be an early production sample featuring a different colour palette and a few subtle design variations compared to the version that was ultimately released in stores.… Read more

Discovery Series Ornament – Big Island

Posted on

No other U.S. state, except California, has been represented by as many ornaments in this series, with an impressive seven releases to date. The Discovery Series Ornament Big Island is the sixth Hawaiian mini-mug in my collection, further showcasing the remarkable diversity and appeal of this iconic destination.

The Big Island of Hawaii, officially known as the island of Hawaiʻi, is the largest island in the Hawaiian archipelago and one of the most geologically active places on Earth. Home to towering volcanoes, lush rainforests, waterfalls, black-sand beaches, and world-class marine life, the island offers a completely different atmosphere from the more urban parts of Hawaii.… Read more

Been There Ornament – Shanghai Limited Edition

Posted on

I’ve already mentioned the release of the limited-edition Shanghai mug and ornament in an earlier post. The collection appears to be tied to the opening of the Bearista Town pop-up store and museum in Shanghai. As an avid ornament collector, I simply couldn’t pass up the opportunity, so I ordered the Been There Ornament Shanghai Limited Edition, which arrived yesterday. My first impression? It looks even better in person. The combination of rich chocolate-brown and gold tones gives it a premium feel that immediately sets it apart from other ornaments in the series.… Read more

Discovery Series – Alberta

Posted on

This mug, Discovery Series Alberta, is the final addition to the Starbucks collection of provincial Canadian releases.

Alberta is a western Canadian province shaped by vast prairies, northern boreal forests, and the towering peaks of the Rocky Mountains. Its history is rooted in Indigenous nations who have lived on the land for thousands of years, followed by fur trade routes, ranching expansion, and later waves of settlement driven by agriculture and energy development. Over time, Alberta evolved into one of Canada’s most economically dynamic provinces, known for its natural resources and strong cultural identity.… Read more

Relief – Manila Rose

Posted on

Relief Manila Rose is a nice colour variation of the mug we reviewed recently. Judging by the date on the bottom of the mug, it was released in 2025. Apart from the colour, I can see that the Kalesa (with the horse) was replaced by a Jeepney.

Jeepneys are among the most recognizable symbols of the Philippines and an enduring part of daily life across the country. Created from surplus military jeeps left behind after World War II, they evolved into colourful, uniquely decorated vehicles used for public transportation.… Read more

You Are Here – Seoul

Posted on

Here is the You Are Here Seoul mug. Wait, what? How is this possible?

If you’ve been following the You Are Here series, you probably know that Starbucks never officially released any mugs for South Korea as part of the YAH collection. Instead, South Korea received its own beautiful series called the Korea Real City collection, featuring both full-size mugs and mini demis.

Well, that is still true because the mug you are seeing here was never officially sold in stores.… Read more
