Specialty tea retail shop at 7441 Girard Ave, Ste B in La Jolla, 92037, carrying an artfully curated collection of loose leaf teas, tisanes, matcha, and original blends inspired by the owners' Southeast Asian heritage. PARU is a retail-first destination — not a café — stocking premium single-origin teas and house blends like Blue Chamomile, Coconut Chai, and the seasonal Sakura tea, and the Girard address puts it in the same Village corridor where Better Buzz Coffee draws the espresso crowd a block away. Ceremonial-grade matcha powder and thoughtfully sourced accessories round out the selection. Private tea tastings are available by reservation for those looking to explore varieties with guidance. PARU teas are also served at select local cafés and partner businesses throughout La Jolla. Open Wednesday through Sunday, 10 AM to 5 PM — and matcha devotees who want their ceremonial-grade cup made to order walk to Immersion Coffee on La Jolla Boulevard.
