Among those who enjoy matcha lattes, Isuzu is the most popular choice. It is also widely used in tea ceremony practice as usucha (thin tea). Whether enjoyed straight, whisked with milk, or used in desserts, Isuzu offers a smooth and delicious flavor that appeals to both beginners and seasoned tea drinkers alike. How to Store Matcha for Freshness: To preserve the delicate flavor of matcha, proper storage is essential. Once opened, transfer the tea to an airtight container (such as a ziplock bag) and keep it in the refrigerator. If you don’t plan to use it soon, freezing is highly recommended. Matcha does not solidify in the freezer, so there are no problems storing it this way. Avoid room temperature storage, as the tea will lose its freshness quickly. Marukyu Koyamaen matcha typically has a shelf life of 6–7 months, and we ship freshly ground matcha within 2 weeks of production to ensure the best flavor.
