The Latest Starbucks Mugs

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.

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

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
