How long will my Matcha last?
Once it’s opened, it really should be used up reasonably quickly, say within a few months, for optimum freshness, color, and taste. Matcha is a raw, unfermented, unroasted form of camellia sinensis and thus is prone to oxidation. To experience the best in the product (eg. foams when you whisk, etc) it needs to be consumed as soon after opening as possible. It will still be fine months later, especially if it's been refrigerated.
All this is assuming you prepare it as tea. For purposes of a smoothie, protein powder ingredient, dessert, etc, it is less of a concern. It is still safe to consume for many months, even past the best by date but would be ideal for use as an ingredient.
How should I store it? Matcha should either be stored in the freezer, if you plan on NOT opening it for a while, or in the fridge, once it’s opened.
