Discovery Series Ornament – Detroit

Posted on

Here is the mini mug for the “Motor City.” I really like the purple color inside the Discovery Series Ornament – Detroit. I only wish the string matched the same color. Unfortunately, all Discovery ornaments come with a green string.

Detroit, founded in 1701 by French explorer Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac, has a rich and complex history that reflects the broader American story of industry, innovation, and resilience. Originally a fur trading post, the city grew into a major industrial hub in the early 20th century, earning the nickname “Motor City” as the birthplace of the modern automotive industry.… Read more

Discovery Series Star Wars Ornament – Geonosis

Posted on

And last but not least in the trio is the Discovery Series Star Wars Ornament – Geonosis. Now that I think about it, we have four Star Wars Discovery mugs, but only three ornaments. For some reason, Starbucks never released an ornament for the Hoth mug. Is that something we can still expect in the future? I really hope so.

Geonosis holds a significant place in the Star Wars universe as the spark that ignited the Clone Wars. Introduced in Episode II: Attack of the Clones, this desert-like planet was the site of pivotal events involving major characters, including Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, and Jango Fett, among others.… Read more

Discovery Series Star Wars Ornament – Kashyyyk

Posted on

This is the Discovery Series Star Wars Ornament – Kashyyyk that resembles the large mug but has fewer characters depicted in the design.

Kashyyyk, the home planet of the Wookiees, plays an important part in Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith. During the Clone Wars, it becomes one of the battlegrounds between the Republic and the Separatists. Jedi Master Yoda is sent there to help lead the defence alongside the Wookiees, including Chewbacca.

The most important moment on Kashyyyk happens when Order 66 is given—this is the order that turns the clone troopers against the Jedi.… Read more

Discovery Series Star Wars Ornament – Tatooine

Posted on

As I mentioned earlier, the large Star Wars mugs are accompanied by a set of ornaments. Similar to the other mini mugs in this series, the design of the Discovery Series Star Wars Ornament – Tatooine features fewer elements compared to the larger mugs. These new ornaments come in a set of three — Tatooine, Kashyyyk, and Geonosis—and cannot be purchased separately. What I particularly like is that the circle on the front of each ornament is a custom color that matches the color of the inside of the mini mug.… Read more

Discovery Series Ornament – The Florida Keys

Posted on

It seems that, along with the mug, Starbucks has also released the Discovery Series Ornament – The Florida Keys!

Ornaments traditionally feature minimal symbolism, and the Florida Keys mini mug is no exception, focusing on the Florida Reef Tract, which is the only living coral reef in the continental United States. Spanning over 200 miles from Key Biscayne to the Dry Tortugas, this vibrant underwater ecosystem is home to an incredible array of marine life. The reef supports numerous species of corals, colorful fish, and various invertebrates, making it an essential habitat for biodiversity.… Read more

Discovery Series Ornament – Ottawa

Posted on

My trip to Canada’s capital was a success! I was able to grab a brand-new Discovery Series Ornament – Ottawa and also a big mug that has many more landmarks of the city.

Ottawa, the capital of Canada, has a rich history dating back to its founding in 1826 as Bytown, a settlement built around the construction of the Rideau Canal. It was later renamed Ottawa in 1855 and chosen as the capital of Canada by Queen Victoria in 1857 due to its strategic location between English and French-speaking regions.… Read more

Some of the new ornaments have a great color combination, and the Discovery Series Ornament – New Jersey is one of them. Let’s take a look at which state symbols the designers included on the mini mug. A review of the larger mug will follow

Discovery Series Ornament – South Dakota was spotted in stores recently!

South Dakota, located in the Midwestern region of the United States, has a rich history dating back to Native American tribes like the Lakota Sioux, who inhabited the area for thousands of years before European exploration. The territory was part of the Louisiana Purchase in 1803 and became the 40th state on November 2, 1889, formed from the western half of the Dakota Territory during a period of rapid western expansion and settlement.… Read more
