In 2023, we launched the 'Tanamera Coffee Body Scrub' in partnership with Sensatia, an internationally-recognised skincare brand born on the east coast of Bali, Indonesia. Through this collaboration, coffee grounds from our roasting process were given a second life, repurposed into a luxurious skincare product.

As two passionate Indonesian companies, Tanamera's partnership with Sensatia is built on shared values, with both brands committed to their own community empowerment and environmental initiatives. Since its founding in 2000, Sensatia has been producing healthy skincare products using pure, natural ingredients – which is where our specialty coffee comes in.

Pure Arabica coffee beans are brewed everyday across our roastery and coffee shops in Bali, and rather than let the nutrient-rich grounds go to waste, they are collected and sent to Sensatia's state-of-the-art facility in Jasri, East Bali. These beans are processed, thoroughly tested to ensure hygiene of the raw materials, and then enriched with papaya extract, jicama extract and shea butter. The result is a luscious, skin-reviving body scrub infused with the natural fragrance of our Indonesian coffee beans.

Combined, these natural ingredients deliver a wealth of benefits to the skin and body:-

• The coffee grounds act as a natural exfoliant, gently buffing away dead skin cells to reveal soft and healthy skin underneath.

• The caffeine-rich cream helps to stimulate blood flow to the skin, promoting circulation which helps in reducing the appearance of cellulite and stretch marks.

• The shea butter, papaya extract and jicama extract promote skin health further through their hydrating, moisturising and anti-inflammatory benefits.

"Driven by the initiative to reduce waste, this collaboration has resulted in a high-quality skincare product. Not only rich in benefits for maintaining skin health, the collaborative product is also environmentally friendly with the use of repurposed coffee grounds as natural ingredients in the scrub," said Michael R. Lorenti Jr., CEO and Founder of Sensatia. 

Through this partnership, Whilst there are several ways to repurpose used coffee grounds, such as natural fertilisers and compost to enrich agricultural land, this partnership with Sensatia has been an enlightening example of how sustainable innovation and effective partnership can lead to substantial value-creation. This upcycling initiative has reframed our relationship with waste, seeing a disposable by-product being transformed into a high-quality skincare product, sold nationwide.

Our Tanamera Coffee Scrub is available for purchase at our Online Shop or any of our stores in Indonesia.
