The name "Wako", meaning "peaceful light", connotes the filtered sunlight created by screens called tana that are used to shade the tea bushes before harvesting. The tana help ensure the growth of the freshest and richest tea leaves for matcha production. Wako is the highest grade, ceremonial usucha matcha produced by Marukyu-Koyamaen in the Uji region of Kyoto, Japan. Even people not accustomed to drinking matcha will remark at its smooth, rich flavor. Marukyu-Koyamaen has been growing and producing green tea since the early 1700s and is one of the foremost producers of ceremonial grade matcha in Japan. Known throughout Japan for their high standard of quality, Marukyu-Koyamaen strives for excellence and innovation in all areas of tea production.
