Amazing!

She loved it!’

Smooth

This limited edition Matcha was recommended to me in store. I partly picked it out because the tin it comes in was so aesthetic. Drinking and experiencing the Matcha was a whole other experience. This matcha is the most smooth and velvety with a strong and concentrated flavor profile. It pairs exceptionally well with milk and I enjoy making iced matcha latte's with it. If you haven't tried this matcha yet, and they are still in stock, make sure you try this before they sell out!

Paru Tea's matcha does not disappoint. I prefer this over the ceremonial Matcha since it's flavor is more concentrated and precise. You can really taste the umami flavors come out and fullness of the Matcha profile. I have tried Matcha from other stores, and Paru Tea is by far the highest quality Matcha that I have come across. I love that they have different variety's of Matcha that is truly distinct from one another and highlights the brevity and facets of matcha.

They're easy to use and don't affect the taste of the teas! I love using them for cold brewing especially. I only wish there was also a larger sized option for cold brewing large quantities.

I picked up a tin of Yoshi’s Matcha after the owner Amy recommended it to me in-store, and I’m so glad I did! The scent has sweet undertones that almost remind me of cocoa, similar to other matchas I’ve tried from the Shizuoka region.

Prepared as usucha, the texture is velvety and smooth, with a strong flavor. I’d probably use a slightly lower water temperature than the suggested 79°C to cut down on the bitterness, but it’s still just as enjoyable. Just as recommended, it really shines in lattes. The flavor holds up really well with the creaminess of milk, and the tea flavor stands out perfectly instead of fading away.

If you’re someone who enjoys versatility in matcha, make sure to grab yourself a tin as these are limited!

Oh my, this one is so delicious. Probably my favorite tea cake I've purchased from Paru. Very deep flavor, perfect balance of sweet and earthy.

First off - this place is dog friendly. The staff were very welcoming to my fur babies and there was a water bowl as well for a hot summer day.

As for the purchase, I was looking for a tea ball, but Amy recommended the Unimug. I couldn't be happier with the purchase since it meets all my needs of making a cup of tea! It's small and easy to clean and perfect for single servings. The holes are sometimes a bit too big for some of the tea leaves, but overall it works we

What a lovely experience we had with Amy - there were 4 of us from age 80 to 11 and Amy made us all feel included at our Tea Tasting with her. Before Amy ever started she discussed some different and interesting teas that we might enjoy and then designed a tasting based on our preferences. Words can not describe all of our experiences but we all left with a calm and appreciation for our time spent with Amy. And yes we did plan our own mini tea experience the following evening enjoying some of our purchases. Thank you Amy for a very special experience with you at Paru.

After years of drinking Matcha and ordering it from Japan, I’ve been on the hunt for a high-quality Matcha here in the United States. My search ended when I discovered Paru Tea Shop in San Diego, offering Ceremonial Grade Matcha. I’ve been drinking Matcha for a long time, usually twice a day, and I’ve tried many places across the US, but none matched the quality I found in Japan—until Paru. If you’re in the area or looking to try a reliable ceremonial-grade Matcha, I suggest starting with a container from Paru Tea Shop. If you decide to try it, come back and share your experience with me. Thanks!

Yashi xiang oolong is my favorite tea and this yashi cream from Paru really delivers a really good cup. The best part about this tea by Song Lin is that the fragrance is consistent and endures all the way up to 7 brews (probably more than that if I ever manage to drink that much tea). But this tea is not just floral fragrance but also has a delicate nutty flavor and honey-like aftertaste. I will definitely love to buy it again at the next season it's available.

After several recommendations to visit Paru to purchase matcha I finally made it in. The vibe was very relaxing and the women working were so kind. My questions were answered and I was given recommendations. I love the matcha I ended up with and will definitely be back to purchase some other ones to try.

Really takes the edge off for me and is a great way to end the day. Just me, blue and a book.
