Protecting matcha: the basics of storage and finishing a tin.
Keep matcha away from light, moisture and odors so every bowl from an opened tin remains enjoyable.
Matcha responds easily to its environment
As a fine powder, matcha is sensitive to light, moisture, air and strong odors. Read the label first and close the container securely after opening.
Take only what you need and put it back
Decide the amount before whisking and use a clean, dry utensil. Avoid leaving the container open for long.
Watch for condensation after refrigeration
If refrigeration is recommended, handle the container to avoid condensation inside. Follow the product instructions for opening and use.
Enjoy a small amount while it is fresh
Choose a size that suits how often you drink matcha. Notice changes in aroma and flavor, not color alone.
Storage varies by package and product. Follow the producer’s or seller’s instructions, including whether refrigeration is needed.
