It seems that, along with the mug, Starbucks has also released the Discovery Series Ornament – The Florida Keys!

Ornaments traditionally feature minimal symbolism, and the Florida Keys mini mug is no exception, focusing on the Florida Reef Tract, which is the only living coral reef in the continental United States. Spanning over 200 miles from Key Biscayne to the Dry Tortugas, this vibrant underwater ecosystem is home to an incredible array of marine life. The reef supports numerous species of corals, colorful fish, and various invertebrates, making it an essential habitat for biodiversity.… Read more

Discovery Series Ornament – Iowa is here!

Iowa’s history traces back to Indigenous tribes like the Sauk, Fox, and Ioway, who inhabited the land for thousands of years before European settlers arrived. In 1838, Iowa became a territory, and on December 28, 1846, it was admitted to the Union as the 29th state. The region quickly developed as an agricultural powerhouse, with settlers transforming the vast prairie lands into fertile farmlands that would become the backbone of the state’s economy.

Discovery Series Ornament – Texas

Posted on

Discovery Series Ornament – Texas is a smaller version of the full-sized mug, one of the first to be spotted from this collection.

Texas and cowboys are synonymous in American culture, embodying a rich history of rugged individualism and frontier spirit. The iconic cowboy emerged in the mid-19th century when vast cattle ranches spread across the state’s expansive landscapes. These hardy men rode horses, herded cattle, and became living symbols of American independence and resilience.

During the great cattle drives of the 1866-1886 period, cowboys would guide enormous herds from Texas ranches to railheads in Kansas, traveling hundreds of miles across challenging terrain.… Read more

Discovery Series Ornament – Ontario

Posted on

I feel like the designers of the Discovery Series Ornament – Ontario made an oversight by using a picture of poutine for this mini mug. While poutine is enjoyed across Canada, it is a dish that originates from Quebec, has strong cultural ties to Quebecois heritage, and is a proud part of their culinary tradition.

The forest, the islands on the front, and the moose on the back of the ornament remind us that Ontario is renowned for its stunning natural beauty, with a diverse landscape of lush forests, serene lakes, and rugged wilderness.… Read more

Discovery Series Ornament – Cambridge

Posted on

It seems that Starbucks decided to release as many Discovery Series locations as quickly as possible. And we get ornaments for the locations that never got one before. This is exactly the case with the Discovery Series Ornament—Cambridge because just as I got back from my trip to Boston, this little mug was spotted online.

Cambridge, founded in 1630, has a rich history deeply intertwined with American academic and revolutionary heritage. Originally part of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, the area was a crucial site during the American Revolution and later became home to two of the world’s most prestigious universities: Harvard (founded in 1636) and MIT.… Read more
