Janji Jiwa launches new drinks inspired by Netflix latest drama Gadis Kretek

Indonesian coffee chain Janji Jiwa has partnered with Netflix’s latest period drama, Gadis Kretek (Cigarette Girl), to launch two exclusive beverages inspired by the series. Set against the backdrop of Indonesia’s tobacco industry in the 1960s and early 2000s, Gadis Kretek follows the story of Dasiyah (Dian Sastrowardoyo), the daughter of a kretek (clove cigarette) maker, who is determined to create the perfect clove cigarette blends.

The two collaborative drinks capture the essence of the drama’s flavors. Kopi Gadis Kretek is a rich coffee infused with clove notes, complemented by salted caramel, coconut milk, and macchiato cream. Teh Mawar Gadis, on the other hand, is a fragrant black jasmine tea infused with rose syrup, lemongrass, apple, and ginger.
