WELCOME
PARU (パール, Japanese pronunciation of "pearl")
Because finding good tea is like discovering a hidden gem.
Since 2017, we've shared matcha, original blends, and garden-direct loose leaf tea through our San Diego store and our online shop.
COMING SOON: CHANOYU (茶の湯) TRIAL COURSES

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.
