My new go to tea spot in the San diego area
Paru was amazing. So much so, I went back twice in one week. Amy and the staff are so helpful and knowledgeable about all things tea. They also have some house-made blends that I love.
The color is so green, it could be hiding in Hobbiton. One sip and my energy soared higher than an eagle over Mordor, but without any orcish jitters. I’m convinced even Gandalf would swap his wizard staff for a cup of this. If you’re looking for matcha that’s precious and powerful, this is the one.
This blend was invigorating. I could enjoy it solo, serve it alongside food, or save it as a nice herbal detox. The spices also aren’t overwhelming in a way that feels like they burn or should be any concern for someone scared of something like hot sauce or peppers. My only concern was the potent turmeric can seem to stain my tea pot or glassware if I let it sit too long.
Jasmine tea was great and would definitely come back for more. Been drinking it almost everyday since and enjoy it everytime. I’m drinking it rn actually.
Stephanie was also very helpful, knowledgeable, and great to work with.
I'm a big fan of mi lan xiang oolong and so I was curious about the red tea version. It did not disappoint! It's sweet and full of flavor but not malty. It has the expected honey-like sweetness of mi lan xiang but richer, like caramel. I love this tea and I hope to buy more at the next harvest.
I purchased paru matcha at the recommendation of my brother and I’m so happy I did! I’m not the pickiest matcha drinker but my brother is. That being said, this is much better than other matchas I have tried. I love the quantity for the price and the flavor is really nice.
I usually make my matcha lattes with milk and a little bit of homemade vanilla syrup - this matcha is perfect for this purpose ! I store my matcha powder in the fridge.
Lastly, paru sent me a handwritten note with their package! How lovely. I will be a repeat customer here.
