About Tanat Coffee
Tanat Coffee is a French roastery that brings fine coffee to the heart of Paris. What sets them apart is not only their precision roasting, but also their approach to the team - everyone in their roastery has the same say. Coffee is both a passion and a challenge for them, so they are constantly discovering new ways to make it even better.
Alexis Gagnaire is the man behind Kawa, having founded it in 2016. It all started with an experience in London, where he fell in love with the world of fine coffee. Upon returning to France, he was surprised by how little was known about quality coffee here. So he decided to change that. Together with his business partner, he travelled to Colombia, where he got to know the entire supply chain from the farmers to the final cup. The result was the opening of the Tanat roastery and the gradual expansion into wholesale, online sales and office delivery.
The roastery focuses on select coffees with exceptional flavor profiles. They prefer the Pacamara and Maragogype varieties, which are popular for their full body and rich flavor. They roast their coffees with an emphasis on sweetness, purity and distinctiveness. Experimentation is key for them - both in roasting and in the way it is prepared. They prefer to play with the Aeropress, which allows them to vary the temperature, grind and extraction according to their mood.
Founder Alexis Gagnaire is not only an experienced roaster, but also a competitive barista. In 2019, he won 3rd place at the AeroPress Championship and in 2021 he finished 2nd at the French Coffee Roasting Championship. Thanks to his passion for coffee and his constant desire to discover new flavours, Tanat Coffee is one of the progressive European roasters gaining attention around the world.
