NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, October 15, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- On October 15, 2025, BLACKPINK’s Lisa and heytea, the originator of new-style tea, launched a global collaboration that began at 3,500+ heytea stores across 11 countries and regions, including China, the United States, Thailand, South Korea, and Canada. This partnership, which started without a formal contract, saw Lisa post a casual photo in Beverly Hills on July 21, 2025, with a heytea matcha drink inside a Ferrari. Fans quickly identified the drink, leading to a buy-one-get-one-free matcha series promotion globally. Some locations sold out within hours, making the drink known as the “Lisa drink.”
The collaboration has now transformed this viral moment into a limited-edition Mango Coconut Sticky Rice drink, which will be available for a three-month limited run at 45+ heytea locations nationwide in the U.S., excluding the teabar in New York. This drink, inspired by Lisa’s Thai roots, reworks the traditional mango sticky rice dessert as a made-to-order drink, featuring freshly cooked Thai sticky rice, fresh-cut mango, and a coconut milk-based slush layer.
In addition to the drink, heytea will also launch limited-edition merchandise on October 16, beginning when each location opens. In the U.S., fans who purchase the Mango Coconut Sticky Rice drink can add a sticker plus their choice of either a pin or keychain for an extra $3.99 while supplies last. The merchandise collection includes epoxy stickers, collectible pins, and keychains.
Heytea, founded in 2012 in Jiangmen, Guangdong, China, operates more than 3,500 stores across more than 330 cities worldwide, including Shanghai, Hong Kong, New York, London, Toronto, Sydney, and Seoul, with 150 million registered members globally. The brand has a history of experimental products and culturally relevant partnerships, including collaborations with Hiroshi Fujiwara and FENDI, Alexander Wang, Sandy Liang, WICKED on Broadway, and the late Yayoi Kusama.
This partnership adds heytea to Lisa’s current brand roster, alongside Bulgari, Louis Vuitton, and Nike, marking a significant step in the brand’s global expansion and cultural relevance.
