Nigerian music sensation Tems has capped off a monumental year with a delicious new venture, launching her very own signature smoothie at the famed Erewhon market in California. The drink, named 'Lagos Love,' draws direct inspiration from her recently released EP, 'Love Is A Kingdom.'
Inside the Lagos Love Smoothie Collaboration
Erewhon, the ultra-exclusive organic supermarket chain, unveiled the partnership on Instagram on December 2, 2025. The announcement described the creation as a "bright, berry-forward blend" energized by a hint of fresh organic basil, a concept born from Tems's track "Lagos Love."
More than just a trendy beverage, this launch is tightly connected to Tems's philanthropic vision. A portion of the proceeds from every Lagos Love smoothie sold will benefit the Leading Vibe Initiative, the organization the Grammy winner founded to empower, mentor, and amplify the voices of women in music across Africa and the diaspora.
A Premium Blend: What's in the $22 Drink?
True to Erewhon's reputation for luxury wellness, the Lagos Love smoothie comes with a premium price tag of $22. Its ingredient list is a meticulously curated roster of organic superfoods designed to deliver both flavor and function.
The creamy coconut milk base is complemented by a vibrant mix of strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, açai, and blackberry-blueberry compote. Natural sweetness comes from dates and raw Manuka honey, while chia seeds add texture and nutrients. The unique, subtle herbal note is provided by fresh basil, and the blend gets an energizing kick from Yerba Mate.
Why This Erewhon Launch is a Major Cultural Moment
Erewhon's celebrity smoothie collaborations are more than menu items; they are cultural phenomena. These limited-edition drinks frequently spark viral trends on social media, with fans lining up to taste them and attempting homemade recreations.
By securing her own signature blend, Tems enters an elite club of influencers and stars like Hailey Bieber and Bella Hadid, who have previously created viral Erewhon drinks. This move solidifies her status as a global tastemaker, extending her influence from music and fashion into the booming wellness industry.
However, for now, enjoying the Lagos Love smoothie requires a trip to California. Erewhon's famous smoothies are exclusive to their physical stores in the United States. While fans in Lagos may have to wait to sip it locally, the drink stands as a symbol of Nigerian creativity making a significant splash on an international luxury platform, all while fueling a meaningful cause for women's advancement in music.
