Product Care

Matcha is a delicate and vibrant green tea powder that requires proper care to maintain its freshness, flavor, and nutritional benefits. Follow these simple guidelines to ensure your matcha stays at its best for as long as possible.

How to Store Your Matcha

1. Keep it Airtight – Matcha is highly sensitive to air, which can cause oxidation and dull its color and taste. Always seal the tin tightly after each use, and use double lids if possible. All out matcha is sold with double lids for storing tea properly. If using a refill pack, transfer the matcha to the airtight container immediately.
2. Protect from Light – Exposure to light can degrade the quality of matcha, leading to a loss of vibrant green color and fresh aroma. Store your matcha in its original opaque tin or in a dark, cool place.
3. Avoid Heat and Humidity – Heat and moisture can quickly ruin matcha by creating clumps and reducing its shelf life. Keep your matcha in a cool, dry environment away from stoves, kettles, and direct sunlight.
4. Refrigeration is Optional – If you plan to store matcha for an extended period, refrigeration can help preserve its freshness. However, always allow the tin to come to room temperature before opening it to prevent condensation from forming inside.

How to Keep Your Matcha Fresh Longer

• Use a clean, dry spoon when scooping matcha to avoid introducing moisture.
• Consume matcha within 1-2 months of opening for the best taste and benefits.
• If purchasing refills, ensure the packaging is properly sealed until use.

What NOT to Do When Preparing Matcha

To fully enjoy your matcha, avoid these common mistakes:

• Using Boiling Water – Water that is too hot (above 80°C/175°F) will scorch the matcha, making it taste bitter. Let boiled water cool for a minute before whisking.
• Not Sifting the Powder – Matcha naturally clumps, so sifting before use ensures a smooth and frothy texture. You can also dry-whisk the matcha with your chasen before adding the water.

Treat your matcha with care, and it will reward you with its pure, rich taste and energizing benefits.
