How is Matcha Wako made

Matcha Wako is produced by first shading the tea plants with reeds and straw. As the new leaves grow and seek sunlight, chlorophyll levels rise, turning the leaves bright green and soft. In early spring, the new growth is harvested and steamed. The raw tea is then dried and carefully stored. Freshly ground Matcha Wako is prepared as needed by removing stems and veins from the leaves and finely grinding them into a very fine powder using a stone mill.

How to store Matcha Wako

Store Matcha Wako in a dark, cool place away from light, heat, and humidity. Ensure the container is tightly sealed after opening to keep the tea fresh.
