REVIEWS FROM PARU CUSTOMERS
Best Oolong
So freaking tasty! I was recommended it by the staff and it most definitely did not disappoint :)

Obsessed!
Green tea + sakura = perfection! This is my second favorite sakura tea this year (the first being the limited Issho Ni blend that Paru sold at the Japanese Friendship Garden. Hope that makes a comeback next year!)

Love it!
My go to tea. It’s not sweet, just a tasty yet subtle fruit complementing the smooth nutty & earthiness of the Sencha. Giving it a rounder mouth feel. If I let the tea steep longer than the recommended time it only gets better; no tannic sharpness that happens with many green teas. Actually Paru’s quality of green teas exceeds all others. I find Amy’s selection of teas withstand over-steeping.

Pineapple Sencha
One of the best chai’s I’ve had! The coconut aspect offers a sweetness and a smoothness, which I love! Good w a bit of oat milk, or just on it’s own! I may try it iced soon!

Coconut Chai
Love it. Light fragrance, yet the complex of flavors makes for a bright morning cup. Less nutty than others I've had, and I've quickly come to prefer it this way (maybe that's the notes of chestnut?). Will definitely try to get more before it sells out!

My Favorite Tea from PARU
This tea is yummy, sweet, and unique! I’ve never had anything like this before and is my go-to tea when I want to feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

Ritual Tea
Love my matcha ceremonial ceramic bowl, whisk, & tea set. I love that they are handmade me not uniform. I love the purist way of Paru. They are a wealth of information for the matcha lover. I can’t wait to go back and get the sugar and rose petals mix to wow my guests or a treat for me when I drink solo

Mother's Day Tea Flight Kit Review
My mother and I both enjoyed the variety of teas in the flight kit. As a first time customer it allowed us to try some of your top teas and made getting a gift easy. I'll be a returning customer.

Mother's Day Tea Flight Kit
Ideal for keeping cold brew tea handy every day
I really like this product. Prior to buying it I was using a large mason jar and going through the process of filtering the tea into bottles was time consuming, this product on the other hand allows me to pour my tea directly into a glass whenever I want, plus it looks great!
