Kodama Tiquetonne
Tea house — Bonne-Nouvelle (Paris)
About
Kodama is a revolutionary tea bar located on rue Tiquetonne near Les Halles. Founded by Vincent and Martin, two passionate tea infusion alchemists inspired by a trip to Taiwan, this intimate venue offers around forty artisanal teas and infusions. Each recipe is crafted from whole leaves cold-infused in pure spring water, fully revealing natural aromas without bitterness. Teas bear poetic names inspired by French expressions: "La Part des Anges", "Du Bout des Lèvres", "Des Lendemains qui Chantent". Most are organic. The cozy atmosphere, decorated with colorful origami and laboratory vials, creates a serene sanctuary. Homemade pastries from Broken Biscuit complete the experience. Recognized by Gault&Millau in 2020, Vincent and Martin offer a refreshingly unpretentious and playful alternative to traditional tea salons.
