Pop sensation Lalisa Manoban, better known as Lisa from Blackpink has done it again, proving she’s the ultimate soft power queen by taking Thai tea globally. From promoting Thailand’s iconic meatballs to elevating fried egg rice, Lisa is now bringing the nation’s beloved iced tea to the world stage in a way no one saw coming.

Lisa unveiled her latest venture with luxury health brand Erewhon, famed for collaborating with A-list celebrities. Together, they’ve crafted a premium twist on Thai tea called Thai Up the World. Erewhon shared a video of Lisa herself whipping up the drink, describing it as a reinvention of the classic Thai iced tea with a health-conscious twist.

“Lisa challenged us to reimagine this beloved drink. We created an iced tea with ingredients you can trust: a bold black tea base, creamy colostrum from grass-fed cows, and organic, grass-fed dairy sourced from Northern California.”

Here’s the exclusive recipe:

  • Unsweetened black tea— just iced tea original
  • Colostrum: ARMRA Colostrum
  • Organic heavy cream: Clover Sonoma
  • Natural sweeteners: Organic maple syrup and vanilla powder

This reinvented tea maintains the rich, aromatic essence of traditional Thai tea while delivering health benefits from its premium, organic ingredients.

Even better, proceeds from Thai Up the World will support Best Friends Animal Society, a charity working to end pet euthanasia and find loving homes for abandoned animals, reported PPTV.

In related news, in January last year, fast food joint Chester’s Thailand launched a unique menu item in an exclusive collaboration with popular Thai tea brand ChaTraMue to serve fried chicken and fries with Thai tea sauce and, wait for it, whipped cream.

Meanwhile, Lisa fans will be excited to discover that it won’t be long to catch her in The White Lotus Season 3, which is scheduled to premiere on HBO and Max on February 16. Lisa is portraying a White Lotus employee named Mook.
