Store Your Matcha Like a Pro
Matcha is sensitive to light, air, and moisture. Treat it right, and itâll stay fresh, vibrant, and smooth for months!
- Keep it airtight. Always store your matcha in an airtight container to prevent oxidation. No one wants sad, dull matcha.
- Dark + cool = happy matcha. Keep it in a dark, cool place (like a pantry or even the fridge). Donât let it hang out near your stove or a sunny window.
- Use it up! Although matcha doesnât âexpireâ, it is best enjoyed fresh, so aim to finish it within 3 months of opening.
Get in the Habit
Making matcha is a ritual, not a task. Hereâs how to make it effortless & fun:
- Pick a time that works for you. Morning, afternoon, post-workoutâmatcha should fit your flow.
- Experiment! Try different milks, sweeteners, and flavors to find your go-to favorite.
- Batch it. Make a big batch of iced matcha ahead of time and keep it in the fridge for a grab-and-go option.
- Share your creations! Tag @matchanude on Instagram or @ilovematchanude on TikTok so we can see your matcha magic!
The more you play with matcha in different recipes, the sooner you will find your groove and your favorites! We canât wait to learn what they are.
