Tips for Extending the Shelf Life - Matcha Tin

Buy green tea/matcha in a small pack instead of a large one unless you drink these daily.

While it is advisable to store opened tea in separate containers, it is good to put these in the freezer if you make Matcha on rare occasions.

Not every tea is suitable to store frozen. It might work well for some oolongs, white teas, and green teas but not as well for strong, highly oxidized teas like black tea or post-fermented teas.

Freezing tea could be a good choice for some tea varieties and storage conditions. Nonetheless, it's imperative to utilize airtight containers, permit slow temperature changes, and pay attention to the kind of tea being kept.

Some matcha is sold in resealable pouches or vacuum-sealed bags. After opening, roll the top of the bag to expel excess air, then zip/vacuum and secure the bag in a folded position.

Always store tea away from direct sunlight, even if it's inside a cabinet or pantry—light can still seep through glass or thin materials.

Label your containers with the date you opened the package to track freshness and avoid forgetting old stock.

Never store green tea or matcha near spices, coffee, or other strong-smelling foods, as it can easily absorb odors.

When storing large quantities, divide the tea into smaller portions and only open one container at a time to reduce exposure.

Use clean, dry utensils every time to prevent introducing moisture or oils into the tea, which can speed up spoilage.
