Le Salon by thé des écrivains – My secret tea time.

Posted on October 21, 2014 by Karin Shibata Posted in Paris Tea Shops .

Le thé des écrivains (the writers’ tea) is a tea I discovered a long time ago… 

In Sep 2011, they opened their tea place: Le Salon by thé des écrivains, a very nice place hidden in the heart of the Marais area. 

 

Le Salon by Thé des Écrivains

I like to go there for the tea time, nice gifts, write, get inspired or have deep talks with friends…

Une boutique élégante qui donne envie de TOUT acheter… De beaux livres, de la papeterie, une sélection de beaux objets et… du thé!!!

 

It is also a chic shop with tea, books, stationaries and a full of adorable selected items. 

「Le thé des écrivains」(ル・テ・デ・エクリヴァン – 作家達のお茶) はパリ、マレ地区の美しいステーショナリー、本とお茶の店です。

 

Lunch menu for 16€

Tea + Main dish + Dessert

Thaï salad with a German romantic tea.

Une salade thaï avec un thé Allemand. Thaï salad with a German romantic tea.

 For a light lunch. I would say I did not feel the Thaï inspiration. 

Thaï fish with a Japanese tea.

Poisson à la thaï avec un thé des écrivains Japonais – Thaï fish with a Japanese writer’s tea.

The rice was well cooked and the fish simple and good.

A huge piece of apricot tart with pistachio.

Tarte à l’abricot à la pistache et crème fouettée – A huge piece of apricot tart with pistachio and whipped cream.

Like a homemade comfort pie. 

Chocolate cake and custard cream.

Cake au chocolat et sa crème anglaise – Chocolate cake and custard cream.

Not very chocolaty but the dryness of the cake was balances with the cream.

 

I would say it is a place to have a simple lunch and a nice tea time.

L’OisiveThé – Tea Room and knitting

Posted on June 11, 2014 by Karin Shibata Posted in Paris Tea Shops .

L’OisiveThé a creative Tea Room

L’OisiveThé is à play on words. “Oisiveté” in French mean “idleness“. 
L’OisiveThé is a creative tea room.
A funky mix of Parisian tea salon and of more recent, trendy crafty spirit… A very international tea room.

The teas…

L_oisivethe_tea_time_room_salon_the_ticot_knit_cafe_paris_2

Tea 5€, cottage cheese with marble syrup 4.50€, cookie 2,70€

We took the “Thé des Moines” of Le Palais des Thés, the Monk Tea. 

A traditional Tibetan black and green tea mix, with 10 plants and flowers. A nice jasmine and bergamot sent.

 

We also tried the “Thé des Korrigans” of La Maison Donovan.

Korrigans is a legend creature from Brittany. A black tea with salted butter caramel flavour (of course 😉

It had a very strong flavour. 

 

The home-made chocolate and peanut butter cookie was delicious.

Knitting

I used to come to this tea salon when it opened few years ago…

Since then, it transformed into a knitting tea room ! I don’t knit (yet). Yet, I enjoyed the company of the yarn rainbows…

The yarns are hand dyed yarns from North America and UK.

As you can see they have a wide and coloured selection of yarns as well as teas.
From green tea, to black or white tea, half-fermented or fermented tea.
 
 
Butte-aux-Cailles-Pierre-Caille
L’OisiveThé is located at la Butte-aux-Cailles, an area the 13th arrondissement of Paris.
 
“Butte-aux-Cailles” means mound of quails.
In my imagination, the origin of the name would have been a hill with quails flying around…
 
The truth is much more mercenary… 
Pierre Caille, bought the area in 1543 and named it ! 
 
 
They have lunch service and brunches on week-ends. 

A very international tea room spirit.
