How To Store Matcha? Ⅱ

Last time, we have said that Matcha powder is good for about one to two years, but it’s at its best after a month of opening.

If you want to always enjoy a fresh tea packed with wellness and a lot of umami, below is another tip to keep it:

You can refrigerate this ingredient to keep it fresh for longer, but I would recommend doing so only if you live in a warm and humid environment. Do not refrigerate Matcha powder that’s not stored in an airtight container.

• • • • • If choosing to keep it inside the fridge, always check if the container is fully locked before returning it to the refrigerator. Macha powder can easily absorb smell and flavor, and I’m sure you don’t want yours tasting like leftovers or garlic.
        • You can freeze unopened Matcha to extend its shelf life. Let it thaw completely at room temperature before breaking the seal, to avoid exposing the ingredient to humidity.
        • I don’t recommend freezing an already opened package of it. Doing so can expose the tea powder to moisture, particularly when thawing, compromising the ingredient.
