At Normal Temperature
Storage
Avoid moisture, light, and oxygen as much as possible.
Frequently moving the matcha between room temperature and refrigerated/frozen storage after opening can cause condensation, which leads to moisture absorption and deterioration.
Shelf Life & Freshness
When stored at room temperature: about 1 year unopened.
Once opened, it’s best to use within 1 month.
Over time, the color fades to yellowish and the aroma dissipates easily.
Freezer storage can also help maintain freshness.
Handling (Preparation & Serving)
The ideal water temperature is 70–80°C.
If too hot, bitterness increases; if too cold, the matcha doesn’t dissolve well.
For frothing, use a bamboo whisk (chasen) or a milk frother to incorporate air effectively.
Sweeter than typical black teas, with a bit lighter and fruitier undertones.
So glad you enjoyed Wakocha, Fei. We love its lighter, fruitier side too!
