Discovery Series Ornament – Maryland

Posted on

The Discovery Series Ornament Maryland captures several of the state’s most recognizable symbols in a compact design. While Maryland is often associated with the Chesapeake Bay and its maritime heritage, the ornament also highlights the state’s official flower, bird, and one of its favorite pastimes, creating a well-balanced tribute to the Old Line State. The artwork keeps the clean, colorful style of the Discovery Series while focusing on icons that are instantly recognizable to Marylanders.

– One of the most eye-catching elements is the Black-eyed Susan, Maryland’s official state flower since 1918.… Read more

Been There – Shanghai Limited Edition

Posted on

The Starbucks Been There Shanghai Limited Edition is one of the most unusual regional releases in the entire Been There collection. It appears to have been created for the opening of the Bearista Town pop-up store and museum in Shanghai, making it much more than a standard city mug. The most striking feature is its elegant chocolate-brown and gold color palette, which gives the mug a premium look unlike any regular Been There release. It even comes packaged in a matching chocolate-brown gift box, the first time Starbucks has used this color for Been There mug packaging, making the presentation just as collectible as the mug itself.… Read more

Discovery Series Ornament – Philippines

Posted on

Starbucks has released a bunch of mugs from the Philippines and only one ornament so far. Something tells me that the mini mugs for the cities of this archipelagic country will follow.

The Discovery Series Ornament Philippines showcases several of the country’s best-known natural and cultural symbols. Although much smaller than the full-sized mug, the ornament captures what makes the Philippines unique, from its volcanic landscapes and tropical fruits to its beloved national icons and everyday life on the islands.

– Mayon Volcano forms the backdrop of the design.… Read more

Discovery Series – Los Cabos

Posted on

The Starbucks Discovery Series Los Cabos highlights one of Mexico’s premier resort destinations, located at the southern tip of the Baja California Peninsula. The municipality of Los Cabos is made up primarily of the towns of Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo, connected by a scenic coastal corridor lined with beaches, luxury resorts, and golf courses. While Cabo San Lucas is known for its vibrant marina and nightlife, San José del Cabo has preserved much of its colonial charm with historic streets and traditional architecture.… Read more

You Are Here – Katowice (prototype)

Posted on

Yet another very interesting and unique find from the private collection that is being offered for sale. It seems that You Are Here Katowice was originally planned for release much earlier than we previously believed. The prototype’s design is significantly different from the version that was ultimately approved in 2024. As you can see in the comparison photos below, the final mug features a more vibrant color palette, while the marching band’s hat from the prototype was replaced with the full marching band.… Read more

Discovery Series – Japan

Posted on

The Discovery Series Japan mug marks the beginning of a new chapter for the Starbucks collectables from this beautiful country. Let me remind you that the previous collection featured no fewer than five variations of the Japan mug: the regular edition along with special releases for spring, summer, autumn, and winter, each showcasing seasonal artwork while keeping the same overall concept. It will be interesting to see whether Starbucks follows the same approach with the Discovery Series. Personally, I would love to see the beautiful sakura tree on the front of this mug transform throughout the seasons, changing from delicate pink blossoms in spring to lush greenery in summer, vibrant autumn colors, and a snow-covered landscape in winter.… Read more

You Are Here Ornament – Seoul (prototype)

Posted on

Some prototypes differ from the production version by a color, a missing detail, or a small design tweak. Others are far more intriguing because they represent a product that was never released at all.

This You Are Here Ornament Seoul falls into the second category.

If you’ve been following my recent posts, you already know that Starbucks never officially released a You Are Here mug or ornament for Seoul. Instead, South Korea received its own Korea Real City collection, making any Seoul item from the YAH series something that simply wasn’t supposed to exist.… Read more

Discovery Series – Guadalajara

Posted on

The Starbucks Discovery Series Guadalajara pays tribute to the cultural capital of western Mexico. Founded in 1542, Guadalajara is the capital of the state of Jalisco and is widely regarded as the birthplace of several traditions that have become symbols of Mexican identity, including mariachi music and tequila. The city’s historic architecture, vibrant festivals, and celebrated cuisine have earned it a place among Mexico’s most fascinating destinations. The mug combines many of these defining elements into a colorful design.

– Jarabe Tapatío, better known as the Mexican Hat Dance, takes center stage on the left side of the mug.… Read more

Relief – Boracay Sky Blue

Posted on

The Starbucks Relief Boracay Sky Blue is a release from 2020 with a very unique color combination and a completely different set of landmarks and symbols when compared to the regular version.

Boracay, a small island in the Philippines’ Aklan province, has transformed from a sleepy fishing village into one of Southeast Asia’s most celebrated beach destinations since international tourists discovered its powdery white sand in the 1970s. The island’s crown jewel, White Beach, stretches two miles along the western coast with talcum-soft sand and turquoise waters that consistently rank among the world’s best beaches, while Puka Beach offers a quieter alternative on the northern tip known for its shell-strewn shores.… Read more
