HOUSE-MILLED CEREMONIAL MATCHA 32
Every week, we produce a limited number of 30 g tins of our signature house-milled matcha.
We source hand-picked tea leaves from Kyoto (this matcha is made from a blend of the Okumidori and Samidori cultivars) and mill it fresh in our shop using our custom ishi usu (石臼, Japanese for "stone mill"). It takes about an hour to make enough for each tin, which is why we produce so few. The flavor profile is savory, nutty, and smooth.

REVIEWS FROM PARU CUSTOMERS
Love this matcha for making daily matcha lattes at home. We are on our 3rd bag!
Mmmm….ahhhh… delicious fragant tea for celebrating Lunar New Year. Thank you Paru 😍😋
The team was helpful when picking out a matcha and the tea ceremony was awesome and so informative! The matcha we bought is delicious and plan on coming back again!
This is the best camomile tea - very unique, mellow, calming, flavorful.
The teas at Paru are in a league of their own. Holiday Fruitcake is a wonderfully mellow and balanced tea. Fruity and savory all at once. I hope they have it every year!
I bought this tea and loved it. Gave my mom some to try and she loved it too. Had me order her a bag of her own. I decided to order myself a second bag while I was at it.
Thank you for a wonderful experience. The staff was knowledgeable and helpful, and the store is beautiful with gorgeous and thoughtful products.
I smelt it at the shop, and it was nice. I gave it as a gift, and the they liked it as well.
