Maruwu Seicha
About
Maruwu Seicha in Culver City comes from a Japanese tea-farming background and focuses on single-origin matcha from Kyoto and other regions. The move is the Hokkaido milk soft serve with a strong matcha topping; there are matcha lattes and sencha, too. Small shop, with lines on weekend afternoons.

that's the whole reason for the line.
Right next to the Culver Steps,
perfect for one cone after browsing.
