A former chef at the elegant Michelin-starred restaurant in Tokyo called Tirpse (the reverse spelling of the French esprit, ‘spirit’), Koji Tamura is a chef who cooks French cuisine and is passionate about the power of flavours.
Always experimenting, and having received numerous awards, like Gault & Millau’s ‘Young Talent’ award in 2018, he launched L’Aromatisane in 2017, a line of herbal teas inspired by flavours from France. Koji Tamura encourages people to taste his creations with the same attention they would give to fine wine.
Harmony between aesthetics, aroma, and flavour
Showcasing organic products and seeking to create perfect harmony between aesthetics, aroma, and flavour, Koji Tamura has created eight sublime aromatic combinations with herb, spice, and fruit bases, like rose, lemon, vanilla, mint, star anise, and juniper berry.
Distributed via the brand’s official site, as well as in Tokyo at the flagship store of Pola the Beauty (Ginza), L’Aromatisane’s creations are also available on business class flights with the airline ANA. These are high-flying teas to be consumed without moderation.
Koji Tamura’s teas can be found on L’Aromatisane’s website and on Instagram.
