New mini BTs are popping up pretty fast! Here’s the fresh release from today, Been There Ornament Seattle.
Below is the comparison photo of BT and BTO together. As we can see, many design elements were rearranged. It does look like some were removed, however the mini mug still has a lot to discover. The string is blue, same color as the inside of the mug.

You Are Here – Puer
I somehow missed adding Starbucks You Are Here Puer mug to the site, even though its smaller sibling has been here for a while. With this mug I complete the second wave of Chinese YAH releases with the total count being 43 (excluding Christmas editions).… Read more

Starbucks You Are Here Guiyang is a nice looking mug, with Qianling_Mountain on the front. It’s an inner city mountain, where Qian being the short name for to Guizhou province.

Been There – Charlotte 2
This is the sixth BT city mug with error so far. With the release of Been There Charlotte v2, Starbucks has fixed the names of the streets on the sign on the front of the mug.

As for the intersection itself, it splits Charlotte Center City (a.k.a Uptown) into four neighborhoods.… Read more
Been There – Detroit 2
This was one of the first mugs from BT collection added to the site, yet it was still a preview. The actual release only happened today, and as you can guess, the delay was also caused by a misprint. Starbucks Been There Detroit v2 is missing “Startup city USA” “nickname” above Ambassador Bridge (which was replaced by two clouds). I, sincerely, tried to research where is that “nickname” coming from and can only assume it was supposed to represent the new era of entrepreneurship of Detroit.… Read more
Been There – Atlanta 2
Starbucks Been There Atlanta v2 has been released a couple weeks ago, yet I had no pictures of v1 to compare with. Now I do. As you can see from the collage below, the actual misprint was “Chattahoochie river” instead of “Сhattahoochee river”. It still amazes me how bad quality control at Starbucks was, while designing this series.
