Discovery Series – Chihuahua

Posted on

The Starbucks Discovery Series Chihuahua mug highlights Mexico’s largest state, a region known for vast deserts, dramatic canyons, Rarámuri culture, ranching traditions, distinctive foods, and the famous railway that crosses the Sierra Madre Occidental. Chihuahua also played an important role in the Mexican Revolution, while communities such as the Rarámuri and Mennonites continue to give the state a particularly diverse cultural identity. From the desert in the east to the forests and deep canyons of the Sierra Tarahumara, the landscape changes dramatically across the state.… Read more

Discovery Series Ornament – Taipei

Posted on

The Starbucks Discovery Series Ornament Taipei focuses on a handful of symbols connected with the city’s culture, major events, landmarks, and food. Taipei developed rapidly during the 20th century into Taiwan’s political, economic, and cultural center, while still preserving historic neighborhoods, temples, museums, parks, and seasonal traditions. The ornament keeps things fairly simple, using just a few recognizable references rather than trying to cover the city too broadly.

Here are some of the landmarks, events, foods, and symbols featured in the design:

– The Taipei Azalea Festival celebrates Taipei’s official city flower each spring.… Read more

Discovery Series – Ecuador

Posted on

Discovery Series – Nagano

Posted on

The Starbucks Discovery Series Nagano mug highlights one of Japan’s most mountainous prefectures, known for alpine scenery, historic towns, winter sports, hot springs, and local foods. Nagano hosted the 1998 Winter Olympics and remains a major destination for skiing and snowboarding, while places such as Matsumoto, Hakuba, Kamikochi, and the Japanese Alps give the prefecture a strong outdoor identity. Historic castles, orchards, mountain wildlife, and traditional cuisine add a very different side to the region beyond the ski resorts.

Here are some of the landmarks, foods, activities, and symbols featured in the design:

– The bowl of soba noodles is a natural choice for Nagano, where buckwheat noodles are one of the best-known regional foods.… Read more

You Are Here Christmas – London Gold on Black

Posted on

The You Are Here Christmas London Gold on Black is another very interesting unreleased Holiday Edition mug for the capital of the UK. This prototype uses a striking matte black exterior with metallic gold artwork and lettering, giving the familiar You Are Here design a much more elegant and festive appearance. Based on the sticker on the bottom, it was probably planned for the 2017 holiday season, but unfortunately never made it to stores. Interestingly, Starbucks later used a very similar black-and-gold color combination for the Pike Place mugs later, so the idea clearly was not abandoned completely.… Read more
