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.

Love the flavor, perfect for before bed. There is a great amount of cardamom seeds, I feel like I get 1-2 in each serving which is great.

This has a wonderful almost floral aroma, and the flavor is smooth and mellow as well. Caffeine content is moderate so no jitters... :)

I brew my green teas light, and this made a perfect mild cup with no astringency.

It's my absolute favorite tea and I drink it everyday. Thank you for creating this tea!

Amazing as always :) thank you

I think the wooden whisk is an essential matcha making tool. For a while I used a handheld electronic whisk and it just isn't the same. The wooden whisk gets to the bottom and really mixes up the powder. This time, I went with the natural finish. I love Paru tea, all the people who work there and of course, their premier quality products. Thank you!

Amazing matcha

I am very happy with the product.

I’ve been using PARU’s hojicha powder for my morning lattes over the past few years, and I absolutely love it. It’s the best I’ve found—smooth, with no bitter aftertaste, and the powder is so fine that it blends perfectly with oat milk.

The tea was both calming and invigorating, MAGIC
