Looking to buy Wako Matcha by Marukyu Koyamaen? You’re about to enjoy one of Kyoto’s most beloved matchas. Wako means “Harmony and Fragrance” — the perfect description of this tea’s delicate balance of sweetness, umami, and gentle aroma. Produced in Uji, Kyoto, by the world-renowned Marukyu Koyamaen, Wako Matcha is a ceremonial-grade blend cherished by tea masters for its silky texture, vivid colour, and calm, elegant taste. Whether you drink it pure or whisk it into a creamy latte, it captures the heart of Japanese tea culture.

What Is Wako Matcha?

Wako Matcha is a ceremonial-grade Japanese green tea powder made from shade-grown tencha leaves carefully cultivated in the fertile hills of Uji. After harvest, the leaves are steamed, dried, and stone-milled into an ultra-fine powder. This gentle process protects the tea’s natural sweetness and preserves its vibrant green hue. The result is a tea that is smooth, rich, and wonderfully fragrant — ideal for both daily rituals and traditional tea ceremonies.
