How to store your matcha

Matcha is delicate and loves a cool, dark, and dry environment. To keep it fresh and vibrant:

  • Keep it airtight – Always reseal the container tightly after use to prevent exposure to air and moisture.
  • Store in a cool, dry place – A pantry or cupboard away from sunlight and heat is ideal.
  • For long-term freshness – Once opened, matcha is best enjoyed within 1–2 months. If you're not using it daily, you can store it in the fridge to help preserve its flavor and color — just make sure it's sealed tight to prevent condensation.
  • Avoid strong odors – Matcha easily absorbs surrounding smells, so keep it away from spices or fragrant items.

Properly stored, your matcha will stay fresh, vibrant, and delicious — just the way it should be. 🍵

Classic Matcha Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 tsp (1–2g) matcha powder

Tools

  • Chawan (matcha bowl)
  • Chasen (bamboo whisk)
  • Sifter (optional but recommended)

Instructions

  1. Sift your matcha into the bowl to remove clumps and ensure a smooth texture.
  2. Heat water to about 80–85°C (not boiling!) — too hot and you’ll scorch the tea.
  3. Add water to the matcha.
  4. Whisk in a zig-zag (M or W shape) using your chasen until you get a frothy, even layer of bubbles.
  5. Sip & enjoy immediately.
