The Starbucks Discovery Series Ornament Ecuador condenses several of the country’s most recognizable landscapes, animals, and landmarks into the smaller ornament format.

That variety has shaped the country’s wildlife, agriculture, food, and culture.

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

Discovery Series – Salvador

Posted on

The Starbucks Discovery Series Salvador mug highlights one of Brazil’s most historically important and culturally distinctive cities. Founded in 1549, Salvador became the first capital of colonial Brazil and remained the country’s political center until 1763. Its location on the Bay of All Saints helped turn it into a major Atlantic port, while centuries of African, Indigenous, and Portuguese influence shaped a culture that remains especially visible in the city’s music, religion, food, architecture, and festivals. Today, Salvador’s historic center, coastline, and Afro-Brazilian traditions make it one of the most recognizable cities in the country.… Read more

You Are Here Ornament – Dubai

Posted on

The You Are Here Ornament Dubai is another never-released prototype, and an especially interesting one because Starbucks never produced You Are Here ornaments for the individual emirates. The released ornaments covered the UAE as a country instead, so a Dubai-specific version would have been something quite different within the series. This prototype was made in China, which also explains the glossy hanging string seen with many of these samples.

Dubai’s modern history is closely tied to the Creek and to trade.… 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
