Storing Matcha
Matcha is a fine and delicate powder that is easily affected by light, heat, humidity, and surrounding odors. That is why the way it is stored plays an important role in preserving its green color, natural aroma, and fresh flavor.
For the best experience, keep your matcha in an airtight container, away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture. After opening, it is best to store it in the refrigerator to help maintain its quality for as long as possible.
The more carefully matcha is stored, the purer its flavor remains, the brighter its color stays, and the closer the experience feels to how matcha is meant to be enjoyed.
Key Steps
1- Away from direct sunlight
Store matcha away from direct light, as sunlight can quickly affect its color and flavor.
2- Away from Humidity
Matcha is a fine and delicate powder, so it should be protected from moisture to prevent clumping and preserve its quality.
3. Tightly Sealed
Store matcha in a tightly sealed container after each use to preserve its freshness and natural aroma.
4. Refrigerate After Opening
After opening, it is best to store matcha in the refrigerator to keep its flavor and color fresh for as long as possible.
5. Keep Away from Heat
Do not place matcha near the stove or any source of heat, as heat can weaken its flavor and affect its quality.
6. Keep Away from Strong Odors
Matcha easily absorbs odors, so store it away from coffee, spices, and strong fragrances.
