Pierre Hermé asked Hippolyte Courty, the founder of L'Arbre à Café, in 2013, to taste this pie. In all simplicity. Hippolyte tasted it: although he appreciated the recipe, he did not find the coffee taste that made him travel the world and the plantations. So he suggests to Pierre Hermé that L'arbre à Café, through its expertise, guide him in his world of coffee.
A formidable Fetish Infiniment Café of 24 creations was born from this gourmet dialogue between these taste enthusiasts. The coffee reveals itself in its nuances, in its vintages but also in the precision and the care of the detail: roasting, grinding, infusion time.... Pierre Hermé's creations are a perfect example of the many aspects of coffee that he learns about and sublimates in his creations.
SO WHEN PIERRE HERMÉ DECIDED TO OPEN 86CHAMPS, HE NATURALLY PLACED COFFEE AT THE HEART OF THE PROJECT AND ASKED L'ARBRE À CAFÉ TO HELP HIM CREATE A NEW COFFEE EXPERIENCE.
With the help of Hippolyte Courty, the pastry chef has created original recipes around coffee. From 3 varieties (including a decaffeinated one), Pierre Hermé has imagined no less than 16 different ways to enjoy a good coffee... Here again, the quest for taste is combined with a passion for the craft.
PIERRE HERMÉ HAS SOUGHT TO HIGHLIGHT THE KNOW-HOW OF THE BARISTA.
The Iapar Red from BrazilIapar Rouge du Brésil, a local coffee, both powerful and sweet, with an aromatic nuance of chocolate, cinnamon and spices embellished by a dynamic aroma of eucalyptus, used in pastries, is more than ever the signature and permanent coffee of Pierre Hermé Paris.
Alongside it, seasonal Grands Crus with different tastes play the role of alter-ego as the harvest progresses. The Cascara, the coffee barkLike the Green coffee are also honored in infusion to savor coffee differently. L'Arbre à Café has brought together the best equipment and techniques for Pierre Hermé to create new signature drinks in line with the Pierre Hermé Paris universe:an Ispahan latte, a Café Infiniment Noisette, a Pierre Hermé Paris Moka, a Café Crème Cappuccino, a Cascaccino or even a Café Virgin Mojito (coffee, mint, cane sugar and lime) The menu of caffeinated beverages is an incredible profusion of emotional moments that wonderfully prolong Pierre Hermé's pastries thanks to their greed, their play of textures and colors, and their aromatic explosions.
86CHAMPS: a new address to discover from December 08, at 86 avenue des Champs-Elysées: a unique, inspired, gourmet meeting between the art of the perfumer and that of the pastry chef.

With 86Champs, these 2 houses put their know-how and beliefs at the service of pleasure: a unique universe where all the senses will be awakened, a place where the fruit of their explorations can be found.
Selection, quality, authenticity, conviviality, sensations and perceptions, everything here summons the senses to live an extraordinary multi-sensory experience.
