REVIEWS FROM PARU CUSTOMERS
LOVED the matcha flavor and the cornflake crunch!! Will buy more. BTW the Sticky Rice Oolong is delicious and soothing!
I asked for some recommendations and decided to order the coconut chai tea even though I’d never had it before. It’s delicious! I make it every workday as my mid-afternoon treat. It’s very mild and has a lovely coconut flavour that is subtle and not at all overpowering. I’ll buy it again when my pack runs out.
I think this company has converted me into liking tea! The pineapple sencha smells SO lovely and tastes really nice too. Thanks PARU Team!
It smells so amazing! A perfect start to any work from home day 😄
Wonderful, light floral, balanced. Beautiful blue color as well! ... we served is as a tester for iced tea, and also as a milk latte here at Mixed Grounds coffee shop, and had positive reviews.. we’d love to be able to carry it in store soon.. please let us know as soon as we can start ordering blue chamomile, for our shop!
We did a corporate event with Paru Tea Bar and it was so great! They were able to accommodate all of our needs--from adding in Red Envelopes to celebrate Lunar New Year, to adding in chocolates, and even doubling our numbers. They taught the group about the tea leaves, how to brew, and what to taste for. It was also some of the best tea I've had! Lani and Amy were so easy to work with and were so personable via Zoom. I would highly recommend them!
This tea is delicious!! I love the fact the cardamom comes through so strongly, and the rose so subtly, but both beautifully. This tea is perfect on its own, but you can most certainly sweeten it, and it’s just as good. Makes a lovely milk tea. I can’t wait to cold brew this to see what it’s like. I bought the small package and came back for the larger pack after my first brewed cup. I’m quite sad this is a limited edition, I’d put this in subscription!
Fabulous... Fab▪u▪lous!!! I love anything from Duex Cranes. The different tea-chocolate flavors is so good.
Well made sturdy set. Packaged well and shipped quick. Previously I had only made matcha with a bulk bag from Costco. The ceremonial matcha is like 100x better. Tasty with oat and regular milk. You don't even need to add sugar for a delicious and healthy pick me up.
