Inside the tin, the powder is in a sealed silver bag with a really long neck. What do you do with yours? Do you cut off just the top sliver and use a long spoon to dip in, and then curl the bag around itself and put it back? Do you cut off most of the neck of the bag so the powder is easy to reach? Or do you dump it in the tin and throw away the bag?

chuft I dump it in the tin. I gotta make stuff easy for myself or it’s just another barrier to ever doing it. I store the tin in the fridge, though.Note

Ah good idea. Although when you take it out I guess you have to be quick, since cold stuff attracts condensation and I wouldn't want it getting wet.l i t t l es t e p h e r sNote

Yeah the room condensation thing seems to be an issue. You aren't supposed to take it out and open it right away, it has to warm up.

Some tests someone did

Weirdly part 2 comes a year before part 1. Peculiar. He concluded room temp and freezer were both better for storage in one test, but in another it seems the fridge one was less bitter. I guess it depends on whether you like bitterness.

Reddit people seem to like refrigerating it and it seems to be a common practice. On the other hand, clearly it did not arise this way in the 1500's and is a new, technology based thing.

My sister has had four cups of black tea today. Help me tell my female parental figure why this isn't healthy for someone her age.Note

Magnús: - I have fans of all ages and I don't think it's weird when older people like LazyTown. LazyTown appeals to people for many different reasons: dancing, acrobatics, etc.Note

I have to declare my Naoki powder experiment a failure. Adding several 1/8 tsp scoops of it to the Ito En bags does not increase umami flavor at all. I thought (pursuant to an Amazon review) that the umami had decreased in the Ito En green tea with matcha because they had reduced the matcha powder in it, but adding a whole lot more than they could possibly have had before still does not restore it.
Might just be this brand, I may try again with a different brand of matcha powder or a different Naoki product. They list one that is high umami but it was out of stock. The Naoki ceremonial grade product is interesting if added to some cold water, adds a little zip and a lot of green, but that is not worth $24 a tin.l i t t l es t e p h e r sNote

The Chiran harvest one is back in stock but $36 for 40g ow. By far the most umami and least bitter of the ones Naoki sells.
This is the Superior Blend one, which I got.

I decided to treat myself and buy the outrageously priced Chirin Harvest while it's in stock. Matcha is only harvested in the Spring apparently and there is now a worldwide shortage due to stupid TikTok influencers of all things.
I used camelcamelcamel to look at the price history and apparently it hasn't been cheaper than $35 since at least 2020 so this price does not seem shortage-related, which seems odd. I expect it to go up, due to tariffs if nothing else.
