Relief – Manila Red

It seems that Relief Manila Red is a revised design of the previously released Manila Relief Black and Manila Relief Green versions.

Fort Santiago is depicted on the front of the mug and is one of Manila’s most important historical landmarks, located within the walled district of Intramuros along the Pasig River. Originally built by the Spanish in the late 16th century, the fortress served as a military stronghold, defensive structure, and later a prison during different periods of Philippine history.… Read more

Relief – Madrid

Starbucks Relief Madrid is another mug that was not added to the site at the time of its release, so I am correcting that now.

Featured on the front of the mug is Almudena Cathedral, the principal Catholic cathedral of Madrid and one of the city’s most recognizable landmarks. Located opposite the Royal Palace, the cathedral blends neoclassical, neo-Gothic, and neo-Romanesque architectural styles, reflecting the long period over which it was constructed.

Been There – Philippines Christmas 2025

Just when I thought I had completed the full list of Starbucks Been There mugs, I discovered a couple of releases from the Philippines that had slipped through the cracks. Navigating the many editions from this country is already a challenge, which makes carefully documenting each release all the more rewarding.

The Starbucks Been There Philippines Christmas 2025 introduces a fresh color palette alongside the other versions of this mug. Even the packaging adopts a matching green tone, perfectly complementing the festive design.… Read more

Relief – Hong Kong 2 (Dragon)

While revisiting some of the older Starbucks collections, I realized that a few Relief Series mugs are still missing from the site. One of them is the Relief Hong Kong 2 (Dragon) mug, and as the name immediately suggests, the dragon is the defining visual element of the design. The artwork places strong emphasis on the creature, giving the mug a bold and unmistakably Hong Kong identity that differs quite a bit from the more skyline-focused releases.

In Hong Kong and broader Chinese culture, the dragon holds deep symbolic importance and is traditionally associated with power, prosperity, wisdom, and good fortune.… Read more
