Discovery Series Ornament – Portland
As a rule, I am reviewing the mini mug prior to larger mugs. Let’s do the same for the Discovery Series Ornament – Portland.
Portland, Oregon, was founded in 1845 and quickly grew as a key port city thanks to its location near the confluence of the Willamette and Columbia Rivers. Originally a timber town, it became known for shipping, railroads, and later, progressive urban planning. Its name was decided by a coin toss between two settlers – one from Portland, Maine, and the other from Boston.… Read more

Discovery Series Ornament – Philadelphia
While chasing the AC ornament, I made a quick drive to Philly to pick up the Discovery Series Ornament – Philadelphia as well. I have to admit, the color choice for the title on this mini mug isn’t ideal, as it blends into the dark green circle common to all ornaments in the Discovery Series. That said, it does look better in person.

Discovery Series Ornament – Atlantic City
I finally made it down to America’s Playground to pick up the Discovery Series Ornament – Atlantic City. It’s great to see this city finally getting its own mini mug after being overlooked for so long.
Atlantic City was founded in the 1850s as a seaside resort town, quickly gaining popularity for its beaches and fresh ocean air. By the late 19th century, it became a bustling getaway, with railroads bringing vacationers from Philadelphia and beyond. The iconic Boardwalk, built in 1870, was the first of its kind in the United States.… Read more

Discovery Series Ornament – Korea
As promised yesterday, I’m eager to review the design of the Discovery Series Ornament – Korea with you. Much like the other mini mugs in this new collection, it features a notably more minimalist design approach. I do, however, wish the circular element had been rendered in a color other than green – something in line with the variation Starbucks applied to its Disney ornaments.
Here are the symbols from the design of the Discovery Series Ornament Korea that I was able to spot.… Read more
