WAKO FLAVOUR PROFILE
Wako offers depth and unexpected complexity. The first impression is distinctly vegetal, but this quickly fades, replaced by mellow sweetness evoking white chocolate and a short, clean finish. Like a chord played on a low octave, Wako is smooth and layered with a dark umami undercurrent.

With roots tracing back to the late 17th century, the company has cultivated a deep expertise in the art of tea making, refining its approach over generations. The surrounding environment, marked by fertile soil, gentle river mists, and a temperate climate, supports the slow, careful growth of tencha leaves, allowing for the development of balanced aroma and nuanced flavor. Marukyu Koyamaen works closely with dedicated growers, maintaining rigorous standards from cultivation through stone milling. Their matcha is known for its clarity and consistency, often finding a harmonious interplay of fresh vegetal notes, soft sweetness, and a lingering umami.
