The Latest Starbucks Mugs

Relief – Philippines Bronze

Posted on

A reader contacted me to share that, surprisingly, Starbucks has released an updated version of a mug from a long-discontinued series. After doing a bit of research, I realized that not only am I missing this mug here, but there is also another version I overlooked – see this post.

As you can see, the design matches the two other versions (Red and Gold), except for the colours. The easiest way to tell the Bronze and Gold apart is the colour of the shells on the back of the mug: green shells for the 2025 (Bronze) mug and red shells for the 2020 (Gold) mug.… Read more

Discovery Series – Jacksonville

Here are the symbols and points of interest of Jax that didn’t make it to the ornament design but were included in the design of the Discovery Series – Jacksonville.

Relief – Philippines Gold

Looks like I missed adding this one to the site. Relief – Philippines Gold is a copy of the Philippines Red mug, but has a different colour scheme.

Here are the symbols and points of interest of Philippines that made it to the design of this mug:

– Tubbataha Reef is one of the world’s most spectacular marine sanctuaries. Located in the Sulu Sea, it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site teeming with diverse marine life, including over 600 species of fish and 360 species of coral.… Read more

Discovery Series Ornament – Charlotte

Posted on

The minimalistic design of the Discovery Series Ornament Charlotte is easy to review, as I can clearly spot exactly five symbols or points of interest from the city.

Founded in 1768 and named in honor of Queen Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, Charlotte began as a small crossroads town in the Carolina Piedmont. Its early growth was fueled by the discovery of gold in the 19th century, making it the first major gold rush site in the United States. By the late 1800s, the city became a hub for cotton processing and railroads, setting the stage for its modern economic boom.… Read more

Been There – Cambodia

Posted on

Been There – Cambodia is a mug for a country with a rich history that stretches back over a millennium, with the mighty Khmer Empire reaching its zenith between the 9th and 15th centuries. The kingdom’s golden age saw the construction of magnificent temple complexes and the development of sophisticated irrigation systems that supported thriving cities. Ancient Khmer rulers established a powerful civilization that controlled much of Southeast Asia, leaving behind architectural marvels that still inspire awe today. The empire’s influence extended far beyond its borders, spreading Khmer culture, art, and Hindu-Buddhist traditions throughout the region.… Read more

Discovery Series – Savannah

Posted on

Just a reminder that I have already reviewed some of Savannah’s points of interest in the respective ornament post, so I will skip them when checking out the Discovery Series Savannah mug

Savannah stands as one of the South’s most enchanting cities, where cobblestone streets wind through moss-draped squares and antebellum architecture tells stories of centuries past. The city’s symbols include iconic wrought-iron balconies and majestic oak trees that canopy its famous squares. Founded in 1733, Savannah’s planned layout of 24 historic squares creates an urban landscape unlike anywhere else in America.… Read more

Been There – Honduras

Been There – Honduras is a mug for a country located in the heart of Central America, that has a rich history shaped by ancient civilizations, colonial influence, and cultural diversity. The land was once home to the great Maya civilization, whose impressive ruins still stand today as a testament to their achievements. In the early 16th century, Spanish explorers arrived, bringing new traditions, architecture, and governance to the region. Over the centuries, Honduras evolved into a nation known for its cultural fusion and breathtaking natural landscapes.… Read more

Discovery Series Ornament – Charleston

Posted on

Discovery Series Ornament – Charleston is another piece in my collection that I picked up during my journey up the East Coast.

Founded in 1670, Charleston, South Carolina, began as a colonial seaport and quickly grew into one of the most important cities in the American South. Its wealth was built on rice, indigo, and cotton plantations, supported by its bustling harbor. The city played a key role in both the American Revolution and the Civil War, with the first shots of the latter fired at nearby Fort Sumter.… Read more

Been There – Star Of The Seas

Posted on

Ironically, just two days after I said I was adding the last mug from the Royal Caribbean series to the site, Starbucks released a new one: Been There – Star of the Seas. This makes it the eleventh mug dedicated to this cruise ship line, and now I’m not so sure there won’t be more.

Star of the Seas, the second vessel in Royal Caribbean’s Icon-class lineup, is set to debut in August 2025 after construction at the Meyer Turku shipyard in Finland.… Read more

Been There Ornament – Guangzhou

Posted on

Been There Ornament Guangzhou is using the following symbols and points of interest that we saw in the design of the larger mug: Pearl River Cruise, Yuexiu Park, Baiyun Mountain, and Canton Tower.

Experiencing Guangzhou means savoring its exceptional culinary heritage. Dim sum forms the heart of local dining culture, featuring delicate morsels such as har gow (shrimp dumplings), siu mai (pork dumplings), and char siu bao (barbecued pork buns) traditionally paired with tea. The city’s beloved white cut chicken showcases Cantonese simplicity—tender poached chicken accompanied by ginger and scallion sauce.… Read more
