How to Store Matcha

Protect Against Deterioration

Light and moisture are the main causes of matcha deterioration. Keep matcha tightly sealed and away from light.

For Short-Term Storage

If you plan to use the matcha soon, we recommend keeping it tightly sealed in the refrigerator.

For Long-Term Storage

We recommend storing matcha in the freezer for longer periods. Let it come to room temperature before opening to prevent condensation.

After Opening
