JAKARTA - In a modern lifestyle, drinks are no longer just a way to quench your thirst. Drinks are part of the routine, a reflection of ourselves, as well as how we enjoy every moment.
From a cup of coffee in the morning to a relaxing drink in the afternoon, each sip can bring a different experience, even opening up space for new ideas and connections to be born.
Not all conversations happen in a meeting room. Sometimes the best ideas come from the coffee table. In between times, in a more relaxed atmosphere, but still full of meaning. This is the essence of a lifestyle that is now increasingly relevant, namely enjoying simple moments with more awareness and full of taste.
This spirit was presented by Djournal through Beanstorming Vol. 3, a discussion session that became part of the celebration of Kartini Day as well as the launch of the Cherry Series.
This latest menu presents a bold, fresh, and exploratory taste character. This combination of conversation and drinks creates a lifestyle experience that is not only relaxing, but also meaningful.
Carrying the theme of Women Empowerment, this event presents a space to share perspectives from women who are actively shaping the creative industry. Held at Grand Indonesia on April 25, 2026, Beanstorming Vol. 3 presents Rendha Rais, a well-known music, portrait, and commercial photographer in Indonesia, Gina S. Noer, a screenwriter, director, and producer, and guided by Cindy Lauw, a well-known broadcaster.
More than just a discussion, this concept is designed as part of a collaborative lifestyle, where people can exchange ideas through open conversations, prompt cards, to interactive unconference sessions. This activity is a reflection that social spaces are not only about gathering, but also growing together.
"The more often we do something, the more we get to know our own way of working, what we like, what we are looking for. At first I came from fashion, but over time I felt more 'click' with music, and that's what eventually shaped the way I see," said Rendha Rais, quoted from ISMAYA GROUP's official statement on Saturday, May 2, 2026.
"In photography, we often think that one angle is the best, but there is actually always another way to see and that is what makes it interesting. Especially when photographing people, especially musicians, for me it is important to build a connection first. From there, the results usually feel more honest and more alive," he continued.
Gina S Noer said that in a world still influenced by patriarchal values, women are often burdened with the demands to be a figure considered 'ideal', as if they always had to meet certain standards.
"In fact, humans are inherently full of complexity. Interestingly, this complexity is more easily accepted by men, while women are often labeled and boxed. That's where the challenge is, because labeling can unknowingly limit women's room to be themselves in full," concluded Gina S Noer.
Taste innovation is one way for brands to present new experiences. Djournal introduces the Cherry Series as an exploration of bold flavors, combining fruity, creamy, and bold characters in one menu series.
"Through the Cherry Series, we want to present something that feels different but still close, both in terms of taste and experience. There is a bolder exploration, but still approachable, so it can be enjoyed by various preferences," said Cendyarani, President Director of Ismaya Group.
"This is also part of how Djournal continues to grow, not only as a place to enjoy coffee, but also as a space to find new perspectives and experiences." he continued.
Cherry Series is a representation of an exploratory lifestyle in the world of beverages. Its three variants present different experiences:
- Cherry Creamy Latte: soft, creamy, with a light fruity touch, suitable for a relaxing everyday.
- Cherry Mont Blanc: more complex and indulgent, bringing the sensation of a dessert in the form of a drink.
- Cherry Chocolate: bold and intense, with a contrast but balanced blend of dark chocolate and cherries.
Through a combination of meaningful discussions and exploration of taste, Djournal presents a different experience, where coffee is not just a drink, but a space for connection, reflection, and inspiration.
Because in the end, just like the lifestyle itself, the way we enjoy drinks continues to evolve and sometimes all it takes is the right space to enjoy it.
