According to an old English proverb "The Path To Heaven Passes Through A Teapot:.
I have found as of late, that more and more Parisians swear by the virtues of tea.
Below is a brief look at the Capital's best addresses for tea-time tastes from all over the world:
CHINA: La Maison des Trois Thes - Yu Hui Tseng, who is one of the worlds greatest tea experts manages this tea tasting room and shop, light, sober and serene, decorated with splendid antique Asian furniture. 1, rue Saint-Medard 5e
EAST: Zyriab - Seated comfortably in the sun on the open terrace of Zyriab, on the 9th floor of the Institut du Monde Arabe, just ordering an enchanting mint tea, the only thing missing is a flying carpet!
1, rue des Fosses Saint-Bernard, 5e
JAPAN:Kilali - (in Japanese it means 'spark of Light') a Japanese teahouse and sales outlet in a setting that is subdued, elegant..zen..of course! 3, rue des quatre--vents, 6e
ENGLAND Tea Caddy- Opened in 1928 by a former English housekeeper, this tea room has preserved its original decor of dark wood and even its willow pattern porcelain. Very English! 14, rue Saint-Julien-le-Pauvre, 5e
FRANCE:Dammann Tea Shop ( in the photo above)- Since 1825, today this shop offers close to 250 teas from the best origins and is installed in a luxurious boutique with a hint of Asian atmosphere, all in black and deep red.
