Alma (tea gallery)
The idea behind Alma (tea gallery)
At once a tea counter, tasting space, art gallery, practice lounge and place of immersion, Alma explores tea as a sensitive and spiritual experience.
After several years working with tea brands as a consultant, and after having initiated the Brussels Tea Festival and then the Paris Tea Festival, María Kockmann , tea sommelier, is launching a more intimate and committed path.
“For me, tea goes beyond simple infusion: it is a living art, a presence to oneself, a path of inner transformation.
Alma , which means soul in Spanish, my mother tongue, was born from a deep desire: to bring out the soul of tea, in all its diversity, beauty and depth.
Each cup, each gesture, each encounter is a door to a sensitive universe where tea becomes an experience , a link, a language of the invisible. Alma (tea gallery) is a unique space, designed as a place of encounters, practice, creation and curiosity for those who make tea an art of living and a vector of the soul.
A unique place, in the heart of the 16th arrondissement of Paris, where tea is experienced, shared, listened to and honored.
Conceived as a showcase for sensitive talents and still discreet tea voices (tea producers, confidential or emerging tea houses, ceramists, artisans, tea practitioners) Alma aims to be a showcase, a springboard, an ally . To reveal your passion, your gesture, your universe.
