REVIEWS FROM PARU CUSTOMERS
We were enchanted by the thoughtful, intentional care we received at Paru. Though we don’t live in the area, we’ll be back!
This pu’er is such a lovely, redolent, and rich old exemplar of Vietnam Snow Shan. Been steeping non-stop.
Their pandan waffle tea blend was so good both hot and cold-brewed. It was so creamy and refreshing. I love paru tea and these blends are so fun to try!
Beautiful, thoughtfully sourced and blended teas. The best in San Diego!
Delicious!! I have never tastes matcha this good.
Premium-Grade Matcha for Baking & Lattes (175 g)
It is a MUST VISIT if you are in La Jolla. Even Ted Lasso would enjoy the tea. That’s how good it is. I highly recommend the Okinawa Sugar and the Blue Chamomile.
I’ve been using this for matcha lemonades and it’s delicious, great price as well.
We purchased our entire matcha set including the Chasen, Chawan, sifter, and matcha through Paru at the Cherry Blossom Festival and the team was so kind, supportive, and helpful - taking precious time to teach us the process to make great matcha with their high quality tools! We’ve made several drinks exclusively with these tools and the quality is amazing. Thank you!!
I LOVE their Pu’er tea. It is not to acidic and has just the right amount of kick of caffeine. And I love the taste. I found them while on vacation and had a wonderful conversation and shopping experience. After I got home and finished the tea I had bought there, I tried to find ones I liked as much at other tea stores in the City I live in but it just wasn’t as good. I went back to ordering from them online and couldn’t be happier. They filled the order and shipped right away. Plus I just loved the vibe and expertise of the whole place.
I bought this when I visited the Cherry Blossom Festival at the Japanese Friendship Garden. 10/10 aroma, 10/10 taste. Amazing by itself and with milk. Recommend 100%!
The staff at PARU are amazing. I came in alone and I was a little shy, but I really warmed up to the staff that let me sample different items and even let me sample the tea that I was looking at! I’m slowly cutting off my coffee to get into tea more and their knowledge and suggestions really helped me make that jump. I will definitely be returning customer and I even came back two weeks later with my friends to show them how much I loved it. PARU exceeded my expectations and I can’t wait to try another new flavor when I return.
