This is the second summer that we are all still on lockdown. It may not be that easy to go around but Starbucks has not forgotten us.

Welcome the New Year with these Starbucks Year of the Pig goodies and new Teavana beverages

February 5, 2019 will be Chinese New Year — the Year of the (Earth) Pig. To usher it in with abundance and prosperity, Starbucks Philippines has come up with Year of the Pig merchandise and an accompanying Year of the Pig Starbucks card.

I love the look of The Year of the Pig mug. It helps that the dominant background color is a vibrant red. A cute pig face with a prominent snout is embossed on the front. The handle is a stylized version of a pig tail and you realize, as you turn the mug, that the handle gives you a back view of the pig.

Starbucks releases its celestial siren themed anniversary collection

Watch out, Starbucks collectors, coffee lovers, and anyone who loves sea themes. On September 11, 2018, Starbucks will be releasing its limited edition Starbucks Anniversary Collection of tumblers, water bottles, mugs, and Starbucks card. Going by the theme “Celestial Beauty of the Undersea”, the artwork of the Starbucks merchandise has ethereal qualities featuring a siren swimming in a sea of stars.

Taken from a Norse woodcut from an old maritime book, the two-tailed siren pays homage to the seafaring history of Seattle (location of the first Starbucks store) as a port city and to the journey of coffee itself.

The Starbucks Art of Macchiato + new Starbucks cards

Macchiato (pronounced mah-kee-ah-to) comes from an Italian word meaning “marked” or “stained” (Wikipedia). Wikipedia continues by saying it usually describes two distinctive drinks:
* Caffe machiato – espresso with a little milk
* Latte machiato – steamed milk with a little expresso

Starbucks is bringing macchiato drinks into their menu from February 23 to April 18, 2016 and it looks they will be offering both the caffe and latte variants in 3 beverages: 2 hot, 1 cold.
