The Soul of Tea: A Journey Through Tea and Art

Residences, immersive experiences,
practicing gong fu cha,
matcha sabō.

A unique place where tea takes root in beauty, gesture and soul.
In the heart of Paris, ALMA (tea gallery) is a contemporary space dedicated to the world of tea and everything it awakens: meaning, silence, matter, connection.
