Maru Coffee | Los Feliz
Born from a love of process and everyday quality, we are inspired by all things analog and the simplicity of good coffee. We believe that quality does not have to be austere and that tradition can be respected as well as re-imagined. Maru is made with intention, balance, and a love for the ritual of a well-made coffee.
Our Espresso
Santo blend
Colombia + Guatemala
Santo is Maru's house espresso blend, developed in 2018 to pair well with milk. This medium-dark roast combines two South American coffees from volcanic regions, selected for their nutty richness and depth. Full-bodied with mild acidity, Santo offers notes of dark chocolate, sweet orange, and vanilla. It works well with milk and also stands alone for those preferring a darker, less acidic cup with chocolate and caramel notes.
Kemi blend
Colombia + Ethiopia
Washed process
Kemi is Maru's standard espresso for all of our classic drinks. Created to bridge the gap between Santo and Sanmi, this reliable medium-bodied blend combines 60% Colombia and 40% Ethiopia. Kemi offers a smooth, creamy texture with deep caramel-like sweetness, subtle fruit notes, and a milk chocolate finish. The blend balances mild bright fruitiness with approachable flavors, making it easy on the palate.
Sanmi blend
Ethiopia single-origin blend
Natural + Washed process
Sanmi is Maru’s signature single-origin blend, consisting of 50% washed Ethiopia and 50% natural Ethiopia.
Sanmi is bold yet fruit-forward, with sparkling acidity and delicate citrus notes typical of a washed coffee, alongside more robust berry tones and a creamy mouthfeel typical of a natural coffee.

Kagoshima ceremonial matcha tea
Direct trade | First spring harvest
In the heart of Aichi Prefecture lies Nishio, a region long regarded as Japan’s center for matcha. Sheltered by gentle hills and nourished by the Yahagi River, its climate and soil create ideal conditions for tender, shade-grown leaves.
Farmers here have cultivated tencha for generations, mastering the balance between sunlight and shadow that gives Nishio matcha its vivid color and soft sweetness. The result is a cup that's smooth and full-bodied, with rich umami and a lingering, subtly sweet finish.
Nagasaki ceremonial matcha tea
Direct trade | First spring harvest
Tea has long been part of Nagasaki. Once a port of exchange and early home to Japan’s first tea seeds, the region carries a quiet depth shaped by its coastal air and misted hills.
Most tea comes from the Sonogi area, where families have tended their fields for generations. The soft fog and sea breeze give the leaves a vivid green color and clean, rounded taste. Many craft tamaryokucha—a curved-leaf green tea known for its gentle sweetness and smooth texture.
