How To Store Matcha?

Matcha is very delicate.

Once the package of matcha is opened, it should be used up within eight weeks, or if you want to enjoy the optimum freshness, colour, and taste, drink it no longer than three or four weeks.

Before I open the tin or bag, I always bring it to room temperature. You may want to write down the date when you open the tea on the tin or bag to ensure that you drink it within the month.

Once opened, seal and store at room temperature away from strong odors, heat or light.

Matcha is not your grandmother’s tea. You shouldn’t “save it for a special occasion.” There’s no better time than the present. It’s one of the reasons why I love to drink it. Every time feels like a special occasion and life is meant to be celebrated.

Matcha lasts about one year on the shelf. If you have matcha that has ‘expired’ I would recommend baking with it or making a delicious smoothie with it.

Enjoy your moment! 🙂
