Starbucks Discovery Series – Texas joins the new collection too! It was rumored that the release of the Discovery Series is going to start on April 9, but it seems that many locations started selling them much earlier! If you’re excited to see what these mugs look like in person, I suggest you check your favorite local Starbucks store today: the mugs could already be there.

Discovery Series – Florida

This is a new release for the Sunshine State. Starbucks Discovery Series – Florida showcases the bright design using yellow, red, and green color palettes. I am monitoring the audience’s reaction and I have to admit that the opinions about the new collection are divided. As for myself, I prefer to see them in person and render my verdict then.

Back to the design of the mug, I can already see these symbols and points of interest of Florida:

– The Space Shuttle, revolutionized space travel with its reusable design and ability to ferry astronauts and payloads into orbit.… Read more

Discovery Series – New York

Another state is joining the new collection with the release of the Discovery Series – New York mug. Interestingly enough, the sphere on the front of the mug is green, similar to yesterday’s release. Another observation I’ve made is that, unlike the previous series, the inside of the mug is matte, or at least not as glossy.

As you’ve noticed, simplicity is the hallmark of the new series, especially when compared to the Been There collection. Here are some of the symbols and places of interest that are depicted on the mug.… Read more

Discovery Series – Tennessee

This is the first, non-Disney mug from the brand-new Discovery Series. In my earlier post, I cautiously suggested that the Disney Parks releases is just the beginning of the new collection. I later saw rumors about more Discovery Series mugs coming out on April 9, which got me excited. Well, it seems there is no need to wait another three weeks, as the Discovery Series – Tennessee was spotted in stores today. There is no doubt that more states and cities are on their way to being released.… Read more

Discovery Series Disney – Epcot

Starbucks Discovery Series Disney – Epcot mug is out. Like I’ve mentioned in my previous post, the circle (or sphere) on the front of the mug is blue, in contrast with other mugs from this collection.

Opened on October 1, 1982, Epcot offers an immersive experience that celebrates the wonders of human achievement, innovation, and cultural diversity.

Discovery Series Disney – Magic Kingdom

Starbucks Discovery Series Disney – Magic Kingdom is the newest mug from the Walt Disney World Resort. The design of this release shares an interesting detail with other mugs from this collection, namely, the big yellow circle right in front of the mug (the circle is orange for California Adventure and blue for Epcot). I can only assume it symbolizes sun?

Here are the points of interest and symbols of Magic Kingdom park that made it to the design of the mug:

– Space Mountain is an iconic indoor roller coaster located in Tomorrowland.… Read more
