Almost everyone who dreams about coming to Paris, pictures himself sitting in one of the famous Parisian cafés, slowly sipping espresso and eating a macaroon. However, when living in Paris, many quickly realize that most of the cafés are very similar. Although every local loves this intrinsic part of the Parisian lifestyle, it happens that we crave something different from time to time and T’Xuan is responding to that need.
T’Xuan (糖轩) was founded in 2015 by Yuelin Cui and Pierre-Henri Boissavy right in the center of Paris. This extraordinary Chinese tea room offers a broad variety of Chinese desserts and tea as well as a few entrée-sized traditional dishes. If you visit the tea room during Chinese festivals, you can also order special festive foods like moon cake or zongzi.
Aesthetics plays a big part in T’Xuan: tea flowers float in the teapots while little porcelain koi carps swim in the cups. Colorful desserts are put on small decorative shelves, among flowers and oozing steam.
On top of that, the tea room itself, with its red columns, wooden panels, and paper lanterns, is designed to resemble a Chinese pavilion. Walls are decorated with traditional ceramics, graphics, and calligraphies. Guests are welcome to use a calligraphy stand in the back that offers special paper and a wide choice of calligraphy utensils. Aside from that, T’Xuan is also home to a small canary that pleases the guests with delightful sounds that reminds being in a garden. If you want to relax with your friends or just restore your inner calm, T’Xuan is the place to be!
