Remember when Lisa posted that matcha photo and everyone wanted to know where her drink was from? Well, that little moment just turned into a global collaboration.

Okay, so you know how sometimes a celebrity posts something totally random, and suddenly everyone wants the exact same thing? That’s pretty much what happened with Lisa from BLACKPINK and HEYTEA. Back in July 2025, Lisa shared a photo of herself enjoying a matcha from the tea brand while sitting in a Ferrari in Beverly Hills. Fans spotted the cup almost immediately, and before long, people were showing up at HEYTEA locations to order the same drink. Honestly, the internet really does have a way of turning the smallest things into a moment.

Now, nearly 15 months later, Lisa and HEYTEA have made it official. Their collaboration launched October 15 across more than 3,500 stores in 11 markets, and it’s not just about putting Lisa’s name on a cup. There’s actually a little piece of her story in it.

A Little Taste of Thailand

The drink everyone is talking about is Mango Coconut Sticky Rice, inspired by the classic Thai dessert mango sticky rice. It combines fresh-cut mango, freshly cooked Thai sticky rice, and a coconut milk-based slush. And since Lisa is Thai, the inspiration feels personal rather than just another celebrity flavor.

I mean, mango sticky rice is already delicious as a dessert, so turning it into a drink is definitely an interesting twist. It’s also a sweet way to bring a little bit of Lisa’s culture into a collaboration that fans around the world can try.

And Yes, There’s Merch

Of course, we can’t forget the collectibles. The U.S. release includes limited-edition Lisa x HEYTEA stickers, pins, and keychains, because sometimes you want the drink, but you also want a little something to remember the moment.

The merchandise became available October 16 in participating stores and through the HEYTEA app. Fans buying the Mango Coconut Sticky Rice drink can add a sticker and either a pin or a keychain for $3.99, while supplies last.

The drink is available for a limited three-month run at more than 45 HEYTEA locations across the U.S., excluding the New York teabar.

From One Photo to Thousands of Stores

What makes this collaboration fun is how it started. There wasn’t some huge campaign behind Lisa’s original post. She shared a drink she liked, fans noticed, and the moment took on a life of its own. HEYTEA even responded with a buy one get one free matcha promotion, and some locations sold out within hours.

Now, that little moment has turned into a collaboration that brings together K-pop, tea, collectibles, and Lisa’s Thai roots. And honestly, it says something about the way we experience pop culture now. Sometimes a photo, an outfit, or even a drink can become part of a much bigger conversation because fans feel connected to the person behind it.

So, if you’re a Lisa fan or just someone who loves trying something new, this might be worth adding to your list. And if you end up trying the Mango Coconut Sticky Rice drink, we have one question: are you getting it for the flavor, the Lisa connection, or a little bit of both?
