NOTE: For freezer storage, double-seal in a plastic ziplock bag and tupperware container for maximum freshness and to avoid other food smells from affecting the matcha. Always allow the bag to sit for 24-hours before unsealing to acclimate to room temperature. This avoids condensation from damaging the matcha powder.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDid you know matcha is best when it's freshly ground?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow good your matcha is depends of course on the quality of the underlying leaf. However, producers buy many different production lots from many different farmers. Their skill, the reason why we call them master blenders, is in blending the leaves prior to grinding to create a specific profile in terms of powder color, powder aroma, grain size, matcha color, and most importantly the flavor of the matcha.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the harvest season can make a big difference in quality since larger autumn leaves will be more bitter and more difficult to grind into fine powder, the harvest year is not necessarily important particularly right after the spring harvest (May - August). At this time, leaves may actually be too fresh to make good matcha--their flavor may create matcha that is very strong in umami but also too bitter. Meanwhile, leaves that\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ehave aged over the past year will be more mellow and perfect for balancing the fresh leaf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMatcha however does get old quickly after grinding. In 6 months after grinding the color will fade, and the aroma will disappear. After 9 months, the strength of the flavor will also fade. As a result, higher grade matcha tends to have a best by date of 3-6 months, while lower grade matcha has a best by date of 12 months in Japan. Western brands often have a 18-24 month shelf life though.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a rule, we do our best to ensure that the Yunomi branded matcha is never older the 6 months from grinding, and that matcha other brands are never older than 6 months from procurement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yunomi.Tea","offers":[{"title":"30g \/ 1 oz \/ Refill bag in yumenet.live Gift Can \u0026 Box","offer_id":42296512708713,"sku":"YMG04-030","price":7000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true},{"title":"MULTIPACK 300g (30g x 10 refill bags) \/ 10.6 oz","offer_id":42296512741481,"sku":"YMG04-030x10","price":54000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g \/ 8.8 oz \/ Silver Stand-up Resealable Bag","offer_id":42296512774249,"sku":"YMG04-250","price":42000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0926\/4578\/files\/IMG_5823.jpg?v=1770683951","url":"https:\/\/yumenet.live\/products\/0783-k2-yunomi-matcha-naturally-grown-sahohime-premium-ceremonial-grade-stone-milled","provider":"yumenet.live","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
