The Latest Starbucks Mugs

You Are Here – United Arab Emirates

Yet another mug from Arabian Peninsula – Starbucks You Are Here United Arab Emirates. The design is pretty simple and apart from a horse silhouette (The Arabian horse is one of the most easily recognizable horse breeds in the world thanks to its distinctive head shape and high tail carriage), we can see the skyline of Dubai. The tallest building in Dubai and the whole world is the Burj Khalifa. It has 163 floors and is 2,722 ft high!

Been There Ornament – South Dakota

Another hard to get mug – Starbucks Been There Ornament South Dakota. It is very similar to ND BTO in terms of colors, since red and orange were used for the mug and orange for the string. Here’s the front of it:
– Mount Rushmore National Memorial – an iconic symbol of United States, depicting four US presidents: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln. Interesting fact – each president was originally to be depicted from head to waist (lack of funding didn’t allow this to happen).… Read more

Been There Ornament – North Dakota

Here’s probably one of the hard to get BTOs, due to the remoteness of the state – Starbucks Been There Ornament North Dakota. The string is orange and the whole mug is designed using red and orange palette. Here are the visual details:
– The Peace Garden State – the official nickname of North Dakota. It was initially placed on licensed plates in 1956 and later officially adopted by the state.
– American bison and beaver – parts of NDs wildlife.… Read more

Been There Ornament – Montana

Let’s review some minis from Rocky Mountain Region. Here’s Starbucks Been There Ornament Montana. Green colors were used for the mug and the string. It is mostly nature which inspired designers when working on this mug:
– The Rocky Mountains – a major mountain range in western North America, a.k.a the Rockies. They stretch as long as 3000 miles, from British Columbia down to New Mexico.
– Black bear, American bison and birds of prey – are just some animals from the great variety of Montana’s wildlife.… Read more

Been There Ornament – Tennessee

Starbucks Been There Ornament Tennessee is another blue mini mug from the new series. Oddly enough the string is orange. Here’s what we see on the front of the mug:
– Eastern box turtle – an official reptile of the Tennessee (and North Carolina as well)
– a waterfall – my understanding this is Fosters Falls
– three trees, sorry guys, I can’t recognize them. Btw, these are not present on a bigger mug
– The Tennessee State Capitol is the seat of government for the U.S.… Read more

Been There Ornament – San Francisco

I does look like Starbucks hasn’t released as many city BTOs as city BTs, but hopefully there will be the second batch soon. Starbucks Been There Ornament San Francisco is one of those released already. From the mug:
– The Golden Gate Bridge is a suspension bridge spanning the Golden Gate, that’s where San Francisco Bay meets the Pacific Ocean. This bridge is probably one of the most recognizable symbols of San Francisco.
– The Dungeness crab – is a type of crab specific to West Coast of North America – a must try when visiting San Francisco due to its sweet and tender flesh.… Read more

Been There Ornament – Washington, D.C.

Another blue mug here, Starbucks Been There Ornament Washington, D.C. (string is blue too). These elements can be seen on the front of the mug:
– The White House – is the official residence and workplace of the President of the United States
– The United States Capitol, a.k.a. the Capitol Building, is located on Capitol Hill, and is the home of the United States Congress, and the seat of the legislative branch of the U.S. federal government.
– The Arlington Memorial Bridge – which crosses the Potomac River was proposed in 1886, but only built in 1932 due to arguments about who this bridge should be dedicated to.… Read more

Been There Ornament – Virginia

Starbucks Been There Ornament Virginia is designed with the blue palette in mind. Same for the string. From the mug:
– Mother of Presidents – is Virginia’s nickname. Why? Because four of the first five Americans Presidents were Virginians. They are George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison and James Monroe.
– The Blue Ridge Mountains – make a part of Appalachian Mountains range
– The blue crabs are an iconic symbol of the Chesapeake Bay
– The Chincoteague Pony, also known as the Assateague horse, is a breed of pony that developed and lives in a feral condition on Assateague Island (Virginia and Maryland).… Read more

Been There Ornament – Louisiana

Starbucks Been There Ornament Louisiana has been released with no major delay (you probably remember the bigger mug errors?). It has green string and that’s what we see on the front:
– the steamboat – those played a major role in the 19th-century development of the Mississippi River
– the banjo – which originated in West Africa has a rich and complex history in New Orleans and more broadly Louisiana.
– Wetlands of Louisiana – swamp regions of southern Louisiana
