Discovery Series Ornament – Myrtle Beach

Let’s complement the previously reviewed mug with its mini version.

Discovery Series Ornament Myrtle Beach is a release for a coastal city in South Carolina, known for its long sandy shoreline, warm Atlantic waters, and a tourism-driven economy that has grown steadily over the decades. Once a quiet stretch of the Grand Strand, it gradually transformed into one of the most popular vacation destinations in the southeastern United States. Today, it is widely recognized for its blend of beaches, entertainment districts, golf courses, and family-friendly attractions that draw millions of visitors each year.… Read more

Discovery Series – Bangkok

As you have probably noticed, Starbucks has begun rolling out the Discovery Series mugs across many parts of the world simultaneously. Alongside numerous releases throughout the Americas, several new designs have also appeared across Asia. Thailand is particularly interesting in this regard, as there is not yet a country-themed mug for the nation. Instead, let’s take a closer look at the mug for one of Thailand’s cities: Discovery Series Bangkok.

Thailand’s capital city, Bangkok, is known for its combination of historic temples, busy avenues, river transportation, street food culture, and modern skyline, and the mug reflects that contrast through a mix of traditional and urban imagery.… Read more

Relief – Gold Coast

The Starbucks Relief Gold Coast is very similar to the mug that was added to this site ten years ago. This one has a black background, instead of green and fewer coloured elements. My understanding is that this is a regular version, and the “green” one is the Christmas Edition.… Read more

Discovery Series Ornament – Tampa Bay

The Starbucks Discovery Series Ornament Tampa Bay captures the coastal energy, history, and colorful culture of Florida’s Gulf Coast region in miniature form. Despite its small size, the ornament includes several recognizable symbols tied to Tampa Bay’s waterfront identity, local traditions, transportation, marine life, and food culture.

Included throughout the design of the ornament are several landmarks and cultural references associated with Tampa Bay.

– Sunshine Skyway Bridge stretches across the front of the ornament with its unmistakable cable-stayed structure. Spanning Tampa Bay between St.… Read more

Discovery Series – Endor

Here is the second out of three Star Wars mugs that were released this year. Starbucks Discovery Series Endor is designed using the green color palette to reflect the Star Wars Universe’s one of the most memorable forest worlds. It was introduced in Return of the Jedi as the location of the climactic battle between the Rebel Alliance and the Galactic Empire. More specifically, the events of the film take place on the forest moon of Endor, a densely wooded world filled with towering trees, hidden villages, and native Ewok tribes.… Read more

Been There – Sihanouk Ville

This is the last Been There mug from Cambodia. Judging by other releases from this region, the Starbucks Been There Sihanouk Ville may be replaced soon by the Discovery mug.

Sihanoukville is Cambodia’s main coastal city, located along the Gulf of Thailand and known for its beaches, tropical islands, fishing communities, and growing waterfront skyline. Originally developed in the 1950s around Cambodia’s only deep-water port, the city has evolved into both a tourism destination and an important economic hub. The Starbucks mug design combines seaside scenery, local culture, wildlife, and regional landmarks to capture the atmosphere of Cambodia’s southern coast.… Read more

Discovery Series Ornament – Colorado

The design of the Starbucks Discovery Series Ornament Colorado showcases mountain landscapes, outdoor recreation, and year-round adventures. Located in the heart of the American West, Colorado is known for its dramatic Rocky Mountain scenery, alpine forests, ski resorts, and extensive network of hiking and camping destinations.

Included throughout the design are several landmarks and symbols strongly connected to Colorado and its outdoor culture.

– Rocky Mountains dominate the scenery of the mug. Stretching across much of the state, the Rockies define Colorado’s identity with snow-covered peaks, alpine lakes, deep forests, and scenic mountain passes.… Read more

The Starbucks mug design captures this energetic seaside identity through a colorful mix of beach activities, boardwalk attractions, music, and coastal scenery. The artwork feels playful and busy, much like Myrtle Beach itself during the summer season.… Read more

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

Discovery Series – Crait

The design of the Starbucks Discovery Series Crait mug is dedicated to a planet from the Star Wars universe, best known for its appearance in The Last Jedi. Covered in a layer of white salt over striking red mineral soil, the planet became the site of the Resistance’s desperate final stand against the First Order. The Starbucks mug design captures many of the memorable visual elements associated with Crait, combining scenes from the battle, iconic vehicles, crystal formations, and important characters from the film.… Read more
