At Tanamera Coffee Indonesia, we believe that a great coffee experience is more than just what’s inside the cup — it’s about the atmosphere that surrounds it. Every detail within our space is crafted with intention and meaning, including one unique element you might not immediately notice: our tabletops made from authentic Lava Stone, sourced from Mount Merapi in Central Java.
This material is far from ordinary. Lava Stone is formed naturally from volcanic eruptions of one of Indonesia’s most active stratovolcanoes, Mount Merapi. From the raw power of nature, this volcanic rock is transformed into striking surfaces now found in select Tanamera Coffee locations. Each piece carries its own story — of time, of earth, and of Indonesia’s natural heritage.
The process behind each tabletop is just as remarkable as the stone itself. The Lava Stone is cut using traditional, centuries-old techniques, and every piece is individually shaped and finished by the hands of local artisans. It is then glazed at high temperatures with natural pigments, resulting in a surface that’s not only visually stunning but also incredibly durable.
By nature, Lava Stone possesses exceptional qualities: it’s fire resistant, UV color stable, stain-resistant, scratch-resistant, waterproof, and antibacterial. These intrinsic properties make it an ideal material for public spaces like coffee shops, where a table becomes more than just a surface — it’s a gathering point for moments and stories to unfold.
For us, a table isn’t just a place to set down a cup of coffee. It’s where conversations happen, ideas are sparked, and first meetings turn into lasting memories. And when that table carries a story of its own — about the land it came from, the people who shaped it, and the traditions it represents — it adds even more meaning to the experience.
We hope that when you sit down for a cup of coffee at one of our Lava Stone tabletops, you’ll feel something beyond the aroma and taste. You’ll feel a connection, a sense of place, and a celebration of Indonesia’s rich natural and cultural legacy that we proudly bring to every detail of our space.
