This month, diehard Starbucks fans will notice a slight change when they make an order: a decorative spring cup.

The company began releasing seasonal cups 20 years ago. This, however, marks the first year it will be releasing one for spring.

While Starbucks has seen its fair share of controversy involving its holiday cups in recent years, the new pastel-colored cups are just plain enough to avoid any debate that Starbucks is trying to ruin spring, so don't even try it, angry internet.

The cups will be released in three colors: blue, yellow and green. Some of the cups will have a minimalist design, while others will feature hand-drawn pictures inspired by the season.

Sorry iced beverage drinkers; the new cups are for hot coffee only, and will be available starting on March 16 for a limited time.
