Unopened Matcha: Typically lasts about 6-12 months. It can stay fresh longer if stored in a cool, dark place.
Opened Matcha: Best consumed within 6 months for optimal flavor and freshness. The color, aroma, and taste start to degrade after that.
Storage Tips:
Airtight container: Keep it in an airtight container to prevent moisture and air exposure.
Refrigeration: If you don’t use it often, store it in the fridge to extend its freshness. Just make sure it’s sealed tightly to avoid absorbing odors.
Freezing: For long-term storage, you can freeze matcha, but let it come to room temperature before opening to avoid condensation.
