The design of the Discovery Series Costa Rica mug showcases the country’s dense biodiversity and compact geography that packs rainforest, volcanoes, and coastline into short travel distances.

Been There – Philippines Christmas 2025

Posted on

Just when I thought I had completed the full list of Starbucks Been There mugs, I discovered a couple of releases from the Philippines that had slipped through the cracks. Navigating the many editions from this country is already a challenge, which makes carefully documenting each release all the more rewarding.

The Starbucks Been There Philippines Christmas 2025 introduces a fresh color palette alongside the other versions of this mug. Even the packaging adopts a matching green tone, perfectly complementing the festive design.… Read more

Discovery Series Ornament – Brasil

Posted on

Starbucks Discovery Series Ornament Brasil is one of the many mini mugs released across Latin America. Brazil had never received an ornament before, with the closest equivalent being the demi-sized Icon series. As seen on the mug, the title is written in Portuguese, reflecting a common trend in which most of the new releases feature the destination’s local language.

Brazil is the largest country in South America, known for its immense biodiversity, energetic culture, world-famous festivals, and deep passion for music and sport.… Read more

You Are Here Ornament – Serbia

Posted on

Thanks to a friend, I can add this You Are Here Ornament Serbia to my collection and, for now, conclude this series. I made a very short post about the larger mug exactly seven years ago, so I guess this is a good opportunity to revisit the design in greater detail now.

Serbia is a country shaped by centuries of history, strong cultural traditions, and diverse landscapes ranging from mountain ranges to historic cities along the Danube River. Positioned at the crossroads of Central and Southeastern Europe, Serbia blends Roman heritage, medieval influences, and modern Balkan identity.… Read more

Discovery Series – Singapore

Posted on

Starbucks Discovery Series – Singapore now joins the ornament from the Lion City that we reviewed earlier together. Three details are particularly worth noting. First, the writing on the box cover appears in only one variation – English. Second, the mugs are manufactured in China. Finally, and perhaps most distinctively, this is the first mug in the Discovery Series to feature an SKU sticker attached to the bottom, similar to those found on Been There and You Are Here collections. In a way, this small detail once served as a sign that the mug was brand new and not used.… Read more

You Are Here Ornament – Iceland

Posted on

A blog reader recently shared photos of the Starbucks You Are Here Iceland ornament with me, so a big thank you goes out to him. Like the bigger mug, this 2oz ornament will probably not be easy to track down, especially outside the country. Still, this is the part that makes collecting fun, and I will definitely be keeping an eye on online listings because this one deserves a place in my collection.

Even in the smaller ornament format, the Iceland design manages to capture many of the countrys most recognizable natural and cultural symbols without feeling overcrowded.… Read more

Discovery Series – El Salvador

Posted on

Discovery Series El Salvador follows the ornament that we’ve reviewed earlier.

El Salvador’s history stretches from ancient Mesoamerican civilizations to its modern identity as a resilient Central American nation. Long before Spanish colonization in the 16th century, the region was home to Indigenous peoples such as the Pipil, whose cultural influence remains visible today. After gaining independence from Spain in 1821, El Salvador experienced periods of political change, civil conflict, and social transformation, all of which shaped its strong national character and cultural pride.… Read more
