From what I am seeing, Mexico will have the largest number of Discovery Series releases when compared to other countries in Latin America, and it will take some time to review them all, so bear with me.

Located on the Caribbean coast of the Yucatán Peninsula, Cancun transformed from a small fishing community into an international tourism powerhouse during the second half of the 20th century. Today, millions of visitors arrive each year to enjoy its beaches, turquoise waters, and access to some of the region’s most remarkable natural and archaeological attractions.… Read more

Discovery Series – México

Posted on

Starbucks Discovery Series México is one of many mugs and ornaments being released for this country in North America with a deep cultural history shaped by Indigenous civilizations, Spanish influence, regional traditions, and vibrant modern identity. From ancient pyramids and colonial cities to colorful festivals and world-famous cuisine, the country is known for its rich visual and cultural diversity. The Starbucks mug design embraces this energy through bold colors, festive imagery, and recognizable national symbols.

An interesting detail I would like to draw your attention to is that while the bottom of the mug and the SKU sticker on the box say the mug is made in Malaysia, there is another sticker right behind the handle that says “Hecho en China” (“Made in China”).… Read more

Been There – Leon

Posted on

Here’s Starbucks Been There – Leon from 2018 which is the biggest city in the Mexican state of Guanajuato. For some reason, it was missing from my list.
The hot air balloons on the front of the mug are referring to The Leon International Balloon Festival, which is the biggest of its kind in Latin America. It takes place annually since 2002.
You can also see the boots, the belt, and the bag, on the side of the mug. That’s for the leather industry of the city, which offers numerous products within Mexico and well outside of the country.… Read more

Been There – Chihuahua

Posted on

I am catching up by adding missing Mexican mugs to the site. This Starbucks Been There – Chihuahua mug has been released back in 2018. Chihuahua is the name for both the state and the city in Mexico. My understanding it is a state mug since I don’t really see any city symbols or points of interest.
The Estado Libre y Soberano de Chihuahua is the largest state in Mexico by area and hence having the nickname El Estado Grande (‘The Big State’).… Read more
