Paru is an artistic tea room located at 7441 Girard Ave in San Diego's La Jolla neighborhood, celebrated for its deep commitment to tea craftsmanship. It is home to the only matcha mill in California, a distinction that translates directly into the quality of every cup. The space carries a modern, culturally rich aesthetic that suits solo visits, casual group hangouts, and spontaneous afternoon escapes alike. Guests have praised the creative latte offerings, including the blue chamomile latte and corn latte, alongside an impressive lineup of garden-direct teas sourced from family farms.
