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.

We have special news today! Definitely earlier than I expected, Starbucks is releasing Been There Ornaments! The first mini mug that has been spotted in stores so far, is Been There Ornament Alaska. My understanding, there will be many more coming out pretty soon. As a reminder, ornaments are usually sold in licensed stores (hotels, grocery stores, airports). So if you are the one, who decided to skip collecting Been There Series, but can’t resist ornaments, start checking your Starbucks licensed stores right now!… Read more
We’ve been all waiting for the official release of this mug for quite a while. As you remember it was delayed due to an error made on the mug. As you can see, the “fixed” Starbucks Been There Delaware v2 mug is missing “Lower Slower” nickname on the front. So instead of making it “Slower Lower” they replaced it with crab. My guess, this phrase is copyrighted, and Starbucks decided to completely remove it, in order to avoid any lawsuits in the future.… Read more
The release of this mug was definitely delayed, but today, the 50th state has revealed its design. Please note, Starbucks Been There Mississippi is probably an error (misprint) mug since it came out much later than other states.

From first glance, it seems the mug is dedicated to wildlife. Let’s wait for other sides to have the full picture.… Read more
I really wonder if BTs of the same color will look similar if stacked in the cabinet or shelf. I feel like Starbucks was trying to save on paint… As you can see, Starbucks Been There Washington DC mug is somewhat a sibling of Virginia BT added today as well. So the difference is in the details, I guess.
Starbucks Been There Illinois mug is surprisingly grayish-blue. I am probably just used to YAH Illinois color scheme. Let me review all sides of the mug to find more. … Read more

Starbucks Been There California mug is another fresh release for this hot season. The red color is dominating here.
The full review is pending, meanwhile here’s a quick interesting fact about the California State flag:
The inclusion of “California Republic” on the flag of California reflects a significant historical period known as the Bear Flag Revolt of 1846. During this uprising, American settlers in California, discontent with Mexican rule, declared California an independent republic. The flag they raised, featuring a grizzly bear and a red star, came to symbolize this brief period of autonomy.… Read more
