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.
An Anniversary Blend is also being released in whole bean and VIA variants. This blend features a full-bodied coffee with distinctive spice notes from Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, with the addition of the iconic Sumatra. The Anniversary Blend’s flavor is caramelized sugar and bittersweet chocolate.
That’s not all. The Starbucks Anniversary Collection comes with a slew of siren-themed merchandise to celebrate the heritage and mystery of the Starbucks Siren and showcases the enchantment and mystique of the Siren’s celestial beauty. Elements that you would see on the merchandise include corals, waves, and sea shells. Here is a sneak peek.
