Matcha is sensitive to heat, light, air and moisture. In Lebanon—especially during warm and humid months—how you store an opened tin can make a noticeable difference to its color, aroma and flavor over time.
Keep matcha sealed tightly
Close the container firmly after every use. Limiting repeated exposure to air and humidity helps protect the powder between servings.
Store it away from direct light and heat
A kitchen shelf beside the oven or a sunny window is not ideal. Choose a cool, dark place away from heat sources.
Avoid moisture
Always use a clean, dry scoop. Even a small amount of moisture introduced into the tin can cause the powder to clump and may affect quality.
Can you refrigerate matcha?
Refrigeration can help in a hot climate, but condensation is the main concern. If you keep matcha cold, leave the sealed tin at room temperature briefly before opening it. This reduces the chance of humid air condensing inside the container.
Buy a size you can finish comfortably
Freshness is easier to manage when the tin matches your routine. If you drink matcha occasionally, Mori’s 30g tin provides approximately 15 servings. For a more frequent routine, the 50g tin provides approximately 25 servings at 2g each.
Prepare matcha without wasting it
Measure only what you need for each drink and return the tin to storage promptly. For preparation tips, see our guide to making matcha at home or try an easy iced matcha latte.
