Interior Design inspiration at Paper&Tea Berlin

Situated on a quiet street in Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf area, Paper&Tea is a classical destination for those in love with high tea, Asian minimalist design and elegant shopping. 
Although the space does not abund, the shop is organised with careful attention to details. The many tea items and tea boxes or other ingredients are spread between the many shelves, without leaving the impression of crowded. The furniture is paint in pastel mild colours which matches the usual classical musical background of the store. Invitation to serenity.
The tea assortments abund, but for me, the most interesting experience is the chance to touch the texture and smell the various teas. Particularly my beloved Matcha.
The quiet Japanese porcelain is an invitation to silence and finding your inner strengths.
Each sortiment of tea is presented in detail, with information about the geographical origin and the description of the fragrance. Just like in a laboratory.
Apparently, there are so many utensils used for the preparation of the perfect tea, that you need to take some classes to understand how to use them right. Their website - in German and English - offers information about the products displayed as well as tells stories about tea and brings information about various events hosted. The information help in case when the customer service had a bad day, as it happened when we visited.
Tea&Paper is a place for inspiration and wellbeing, to visit even if you may not be that passionate about tea. Yet.
