Forus Matcha will no longer carry Marukyu Koyamaen matcha once our current batch is sold out.
Wako is one of Marukyu Koyamaen’s entry ceremonial matcha offerings, highly regarded for its accessibility and smooth balance. It has a fresh green aroma, a pleasant umami, and just enough bitterness to keep the flavor lively without being harsh.
It is primarily suited for usucha (thin tea), producing a fine froth and a clean, refreshing taste. Its profile makes it ideal for beginners learning tea ceremony or for everyday enjoyment.
