Discovery Series – Ciudad de Mexico

Posted on

The Starbucks Discovery Series Ciudad de México mug takes us to Mexico City, one of the largest and oldest capitals in the Americas. The modern city stands on the site of Tenochtitlan, the Aztec capital founded in the 14th century on islands in Lake Texcoco. After the Spanish conquest in 1521, Mexico City became the capital of New Spain and later, following Mexican independence, the capital of the new nation. Today, its Indigenous and colonial heritage exists alongside an enormous modern metropolis, something reflected particularly well in this colorful design.… Read more

Discovery Series Ornament – Bolivia

Posted on

The Starbucks Discovery Series Ornament Bolivia showcases some of the country’s best-known natural and cultural symbols in the smaller ornament format. Bolivia became an independent republic in 1825 and takes its name from Simón Bolívar. Its geography is remarkably varied, stretching from the high Andes and Altiplano to valleys, tropical lowlands, and the Amazon basin. This diversity is reflected especially well in the ornament’s combination of high-altitude scenery and tropical plants.

Discovery Series – Hokkaido

Posted on

The Starbucks Discovery Series Hokkaido mug explores Japan’s northernmost main island, a region known for long snowy winters, mountains, wildlife, agriculture, and distinctive local traditions. Hokkaido was historically inhabited by the indigenous Ainu people and was known as Ezo before receiving its present name in 1869, during a period of rapid Japanese settlement and development. Today, its relatively cool climate and wide-open landscapes distinguish it from much of the rest of Japan, while winter sports, seafood, and spectacular natural scenery attract visitors throughout the year.… Read more

You Are Here – Český Krumlov

This is the third and the last (for now) mug from a recent trio release from the Czech Republic.

The You Are Here Český Krumlov mug takes us to one of the best-preserved historic towns in Czechia. Český Krumlov developed around a castle established in the 13th century on a bend of the Vltava River and flourished under the powerful Rosenberg family for several centuries. Its remarkably intact medieval and Renaissance center, together with the castle complex overlooking it, earned Český Krumlov a place on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1992.… Read more

Discovery Series Ornament – Taiwan

Posted on

I am lucky to have a friend who travels a lot and sends me these. It would be much harder to get them otherwise. Starbucks released six ornaments for the “Formosa,” and I have them all!

The Starbucks Discovery Series Ornament Taiwan features a compact selection of symbols highlighting the island’s landscapes, wildlife, agriculture, and outdoor activities. Taiwan’s history has been shaped by its Indigenous peoples as well as periods of Dutch, Spanish, Qing, Japanese, and Republic of China rule. The island is also remarkably mountainous, with its rugged interior rising sharply from the densely populated coastal plains.… Read more

Discovery Series – Philippines

Posted on

The Starbucks Discovery Series Philippines mug explores the history, traditions, food, and landscapes of this Southeast Asian archipelago. Spanish colonial rule began in the 16th century, with Manila becoming the colonial capital in 1571. Following the Philippine Revolution, independence from Spain was proclaimed on June 12, 1898, although the islands subsequently came under American rule. The Philippines finally gained full sovereignty in 1946, and today its culture reflects centuries of indigenous traditions combined with Spanish, Asian, and American influences.

Discovery Series – Bolivia

The Discovery Series Bolivia mug introduces another South American country release with a design that moves from the Andes to the Amazon and combines traditional culture with some of Bolivia’s most famous landscapes and foods.

Bolivia gained independence in 1825 and was named after Simón Bolívar. Today, the country is defined by the coexistence of indigenous traditions, colonial history, and an extraordinary variety of landscapes, ranging from the Andes and high-altitude salt flats to tropical lowlands.… Read more

Discovery Series – Hiroshima

Posted on

The Discovery Series Hiroshima mug tells the story of a city with a long history and a powerful modern identity. Hiroshima was founded as a castle town in 1589, when Mori Terumoto began construction of Hiroshima Castle. The city later developed into an important regional center, but its history changed forever on August 6, 1945, when an atomic bomb destroyed much of Hiroshima. Reconstruction began almost immediately, and the city was formally reshaped as a peace memorial city under a special law enacted in 1949.… Read more
