It may be Starbucks’ quarter-century anniversary, but it’s us who’s getting the presents. 

Fifty years ago, Starbucks was born in Seattle, U.S.A., and twenty-five years later, the coffeehouse chain expanded its operations overseas for the very first time, by opening a store in Ginza, Tokyo, in 1996.

As Starbucks’ first overseas market outside of North America, Japan has played an important role in the history of the now-global brand, and to celebrate its 25th year here, the company is celebrating with a series of upcoming promotions planned for 2021, starting with a special anniversary drinkware range. 

The collection covers everything from stackable mugs through to gift cards and travel mugs, all decked out with a special 25th anniversary logo and other cute Starbucks-related motifs that pay homage to the chain’s roots. So let’s get to it and take a look at the new range below!

The Starbucks 25th Anniversary Goods collection will be on sale at Starbucks locations around Japan and online from 14 April. They’ll only be sold in limited numbers, though, so if you like something you see, you’ll want to get in quick to avoid missing out.

The new drinkware range is just the start of the 25th anniversary activities planned for this year, scheduled to run from April to August and based around the theme of “The Power of Coffee. The Power of Connection.” We can’t wait to see what other fun surprises they have in store for us–hopefully there’ll be some new Frappuccinos to make up for the sakura series that left us wanting more this year!
