Discovery Series – Ontario

Posted on

Discovery Series Ontario is the mug for Canada’s most populous province, home to the nation’s capital, diverse landscapes, and vibrant cities like Toronto and Ottawa.

Ontario’s story is one of movement, trade, and transformation. The region was home to First Nations peoples for thousands of years before French explorers arrived in the early 17th century, followed by British control after the Treaty of Paris in 1763. Officially established as a province in 1867 at the time of Canadian Confederation, Ontario has since grown into the country’s most populous province, shaped by waves of immigration, industrial development, and its strategic location along the Great Lakes and major waterways.… Read more

The Starbucks Discovery Series has taken an important new step by expanding into Central America. The first release showing this change is the Discovery Series Ornament El Salvador.

A colourful mug, Discovery Series – Manitoba, accompanies the ornament from this Canadian Province that we reviewed earlier.

Manitoba joined the Canadian Confederation on July 15, 1870, as the fifth province, created from the Red River Colony following Louis Riel’s Red River Rebellion. The province’s name derives from Indigenous words meaning “strait of the spirit,” referring to Lake Manitoba. Winnipeg grew into Manitoba’s capital as railways connected the prairies to eastern markets. Today, Manitoba balances Indigenous heritage, multicultural population, and agricultural economy while serving as Canada’s geographic heart.… Read more

Been There – Antofagasta

Posted on

Been There Antofagasta is the latest release from Chile.

The Antofagasta Region in northern Chile takes its name from the port city of Antofagasta, with the word likely derived from indigenous languages meaning “hidden town” or referring to copper deposits. Spanish colonial presence remained limited in this harsh desert until the 19th century, when mining operations discovered vast nitrate and copper deposits. The region was originally part of Bolivia until the War of the Pacific (1879-1884) resulted in Chile annexing the territory, gaining access to valuable mineral resources.… Read more
