Hot & Honorable

Tanat

Tanat combines very light, exact roasting with producer first transparency, playful yet producer forward packaging, and a run of high scoring, often rare single origin coffees, helping steer the French scene toward cleaner, more informative coffee. Bags keep the farmer front and center with lot and harvest clear at a glance, proving design can elevate without hiding the details. In the cup the profiles are sweet, vivid, and very clear, with place easy to follow even when the aromatics are expressive. Releases frequently include competition grade coffees and less common origins handled with control rather than noise. Season after season the execution is polished and intentional, which puts Tanat among the leaders of modern specialty.

Background

Founded in Paris in 2016 by Alexis Gagnaire as Kawa and reintroduced in 2025 as Tanat, the roastery helped bring specialty coffee further into the French mainstream while keeping a sharp focus on taste and precision. The philosophy is producer first and lot specific, with seasonal single origin releases alongside a small number of blends, and roasting that aims to reveal sweetness, clarity, and place rather than roast character. Tanat’s cafés are central to the identity and serve as tasting led showcases for the house style. The offer list often includes ninety plus coffees, reflecting a sourcing approach that targets peak harvest lots and presents them with clear, transparent information.

Panel evaluation

Cups land clean and sweet with articulate acidity and a steady structure across filter and espresso. Classic profiles form the core, while select innovative processes add fruit forward lift without overwhelming variety or place. We have tasted excellent cups here, including really good coffees from less common origins that are handled with the same restraint and clarity as the classics. Labels and product pages are detailed and producer forward, so the path from farm to cup is easy to follow. Season after season, extraction is predictable and the style holds its shape.

Tiquetonne

Paris

Tanat Tiquetonne is a sleek, street-level bar in the Montorgueil area where brushed metal, volcanic-ash tiles and pale wood give the narrow room a cool, almost gallery-like feel around the counter. Low stools, clean menu boards and a tightly organized back bar keep everything visually quiet, so precise espresso, slow-brew filter and chilled coffees from Tanat’s high-end lineup become the main “furnishings” in a space that feels minimalist, modern and softly energetic rather than cozy.
