Discovery Series – Arizona

Posted on

Discovery Series – Arizona is a mug for a state shaped by Indigenous civilizations, Spanish exploration, frontier settlement, mining booms, and the growth of desert cities that attracted new residents throughout the twentieth century. Long before statehood in 1912, the region was home to remarkable cultures such as the Hohokam and Ancestral Puebloans, whose canal systems and architectural sites still impress visitors today. When railroads and copper mining expanded, Arizona’s towns grew quickly, eventually building the diverse economy that connects its ancient past with its modern identity.… Read more

Discovery Series Ornament Arizona is here.

Arizona’s history as the 48th state begins with its admission to the Union on February 14, 1912, though human presence in the region dates back over 12,000 years. The state’s territory was part of Mexico until the Mexican-American War and the Gadsden Purchase of 1853 completed its current boundaries. From ancient Ancestral Puebloan cliff dwellings to Spanish missions, Old West mining towns, and modern metropolitan centers, Arizona’s landscape tells a story of diverse cultures, frontier spirit, and adaptation to one of America’s most dramatic desert environments.… Read more

Been There – Arizona 3

Posted on

A similar change to what’s just happened to mini mug we can witness with the release of Been There – Arizona 3. The best way to distinguish the new version from v1 and v2 is to look at the front of it and spot the “Red Rock Sedona” label that’s replaced the “Grand Canyon” (it has been moved to the back of the mug). Another element that can help is two chili peppers just below the title.
If we count the Christmas version too, we now have four variants of the Arizona Been There mug.… Read more

It seems that rather than introducing new locations, Starbucks decided to review the existing ones. You probably remember that Arizona has already seen a revised ornament and a mug, shortly after the new collection came out (it seems that “the Sand Hill State” was not exactly the nickname Arizonians recognized).
Well, as I said, Starbucks has gone even further and completely updated the design with the release of the brand new Been There Ornament – Arizona v3. As you can see from the comparison picture below, most of the design elements of the ornament were rearranged.… Read more

Ain’t no error fix, but the desire to meet the people’s demand in removing “the Sand Hill State” wording from the mug. Even though no one heard of this nickname, some resources claim it is old, but legit. Nonetheless, with the release of Starbucks Been There Arizona v2 mug, that controversial element has been replaced with lizard. It’s worth mentioning, that ornament v2 was spotted before the bigger mug.

Starbucks Been There Christmas Arizona mug reveals some interesting details. Take a look at the image below, where I compare the BT Arizona and it’s Holiday Edition. See how “The Sand Hill State” nickname was replaced with a lizard (I was not able to identify which exactly that one is). And the reason for this change is the numerous complaints from Arizona residents who refused to accept this design. Apparently it went viral and Starbucks decided to update the mug, to make everyone happy.… Read more

For some obvious reasons, the central part on the front of Starbucks Been There Ornament Arizona is given to The Grand Canyon – known for its visually overwhelming size and its intricate and colorful landscape.
