Discovery Series Ornament – Portland

Posted on

As a rule, I am reviewing the mini mug prior to larger mugs. Let’s do the same for the Discovery Series Ornament – Portland.

Portland, Oregon, was founded in 1845 and quickly grew as a key port city thanks to its location near the confluence of the Willamette and Columbia Rivers. Originally a timber town, it became known for shipping, railroads, and later, progressive urban planning. Its name was decided by a coin toss between two settlers – one from Portland, Maine, and the other from Boston.… Read more

Been There – Florianópolis

Posted on

Here are some photos of the Starbucks Been There – Florianopolis mug that a friend shared with me.

Florianópolis, the capital of the Brazilian state of Santa Catarina, has a rich and unique history. Originally inhabited by the Carijó people, the area later attracted Portuguese settlers in the 16th century. The city was officially founded in 1726 under the name Desterro and became a key port and colonial settlement. In 1894, the name was changed to Florianópolis in honor of Marshal Floriano Peixoto, the second president of Brazil.… Read more

Discovery Series Ornament – Vermont

Posted on

I could not return from my trip to Burlington empty-handed, so I picked up this nice Discovery Series Ornament – Vermont. Tucked into the upper Northeast, Vermont has a way of getting into your system — the views, the calm, the pride people take in where they’re from.

Vermont’s history is marked by independence. Before it joined the United States in 1791 as the 14th state, it was its own republic for 14 years. It was the first state to outlaw slavery and played a crucial role in the abolitionist movement.… Read more

Discovery Series – Korea

Posted on

We now have our first look at real-life photos of the Starbucks Discovery Series – Korea mug. At first glance, the box design appears nearly identical to those from the U.S. and Canada. However, there are a few subtle differences: the absence of French text indicating the country of origin, and the prominently displayed volume – 2 fl. oz / 59 mL for the ornament and 16 fl. oz / 414 mL for the mug (see the photo of the covers at the end of the article).… Read more

Been There – Ningbo

Posted on

It wasn’t easy to track down a photo of the elusive Been There – Ningbo mug. And this image only shows the front – never mind the other sides. If you happen to have the mug, I’d truly appreciate it if you could share some pictures..

Ningbo, whose name means “calm waves,” sits on the coastal plain of the Yong River in Zhejiang Province and has been an active port since ancient times. Archaeological finds like the Hemudu Neolithic Culture reveal human settlement here as early as 7,000 years ago and a pioneering history of rice cultivation.… Read more
