For me, it began as an alternative to coffee (which never has suited my taste) when visiting a cafe with friends. Ah, how I would love to be sitting in a Parisian cafe and sipping a tizaine right now!<BR/><BR/>Felicitations, Carrie! You made it! You will let us enjoy Paris a bit vicariously through you, right?

I can feel her excitement.<BR/><BR/>What is the difference between French coffee and what we drink in American cities? I never did quite find the cup of coffee I wanted while in Paris. I think it's just stronger there, but I'm not sure that's it. I'd hate to see Paris seriously infiltrated by Starbucks (I don't like their coffee). But I would like to find a good latte there on my next visit. Any clues?Petrea Burchardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13043950465171821852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-72882013042494122112008-11-09T18:59:00.000+01:002008-11-09T18:59:00.000+01:00ohh I just clicked on the link you provided, Jacqu...ohh I just clicked on the link you provided, Jacquemart-Andre Café is listed there!Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11410824627680506934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-77210063323550127912008-11-09T18:58:00.000+01:002008-11-09T18:58:00.000+01:00You're a genius of the black and white photography...You're a genius of the black and white photography Eric. What a great shot, I love the plastic of it.<BR/><BR/>And the subject is so interesting. I thought having tea was big in Paris since there are such beautiful Salon de thé there. Besides the ones you've mentioned, isn't the café at Musée Jacquemart-Andre a salon de thé too? It's one of the most beautiful I've seen.<BR/><BR/>I always have to stop by at Angelina when I'm in Paris, but I never had tea there, I confess. I always go for the African Hot Chocolate. Delicious.<BR/>And when I tried to go to Mariage Frère - near Place Saint Andre des Arts if I'm not mistaken - it was already closed, so I just took a look at it by the windowshop. It is so beautiful there it's almost unbelievable, there are teas from all over the world.<BR/><BR/>I definetely wanna go there next time, I saw a special report about Mariage Frère once on tv and the story behind it is very interesting. I will certainly have my tea time there next year!!Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11410824627680506934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-25977545648753505002008-11-09T18:48:00.000+01:002008-11-09T18:48:00.000+01:00Hi everyone - I got myself onto Paris time before ...Hi everyone - I got myself onto Paris time before I got here -- waking at midnight and staying up til 5pm, so, hopefully I won't miss a minute here. <BR/><BR/>The weather is crisp and clear. I walked down to the Louvre this afternoon through the 2nd and then back to my apt, within view of the imposing statue gracing the Place de la Republique, through the 4th. Then I met the concierge, who was terribly helpful. This is the Parisian tradition Eric introduced me to thru his photo several months ago and which was then filled out by the memories and observations of other people's posts. Its a first for me. <BR/><BR/>Those stone streets can be hard on the feet. I can hardly wait to try out the nearest Velib stand and see if my credit card works. Cross your fingers for me. I still can't really believe I'm here!!! Now I'm off to plan the day tomorrow. :)Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15978433496142392475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-38629658531012056052008-11-09T18:42:00.000+01:002008-11-09T18:42:00.000+01:00Carrie...you have arrived!!!

My Asian students did convince me of the health benefits of green tea and I've had a fair share of that. Ironically, I've coordinated for several Japanese tea ceremonies at my school, but probably know more about the ceremony than the tea being prepared. I've enjoyed reading comments (Alexa, Guille, Tomate)on Paris tea shops and thoughts on the leaf.
