It smells and tastes so malty and lightly sweet even! I love brewing this for breakfast and then re-steeping throughout the day. As a craft beer fan, this tea felt like my favorite part of the brewing process right after all the malt is mashed in. Delicious roasted barley notes makes this easily one of my favorites now.

I wanted to write this review because I strongly believe that this tea doesnt get the recognition it deserves.

This was my first premium tea Ive tried, and Im very grateful it was an amazing experience.

The notes are floral and mild. The tea has a smooth mouthfeel, no bitterness. It is somehow sweet, which - being my first experience with proper tea - I didnt know was possible without adding additional sugar. It has a green tea taste, but it is far from overpowering. It is overall a stunning experience.

Not to mention, the immediate feeling of wellness after drinking the tea is noticeable. Your mind sings after drinking this, and it really makes you understand how easternphilosophy came to be (lol)

Overall, it tastes phenomenal, it makes you feel good and it is almost spiritual to partake in.

5/5

The ceremonial matcha is very smooth - not a trace of bitterness!

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.

Very happy with our first direct purchase and in house matcha experience at Paru!

I appreciate the kindness of the staff member that assisted me and am very happy with her recommendation for the matcha I chose!

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.

Winter Candy Oolong

Baked Corn Hojicha, PARU Reserve

Blue Chamomile is always my favorite

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.

So good! It's sometimes hard to find toasted rice tea, it's one of my favorites. I love the flavors on this one; the quality is excellent

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.

Truly lovely matcha!

Love it
