This grade is best use for baking and matcha lattes. 

Matcha is sensitive to light and heat in general, so it's still recommended to bake in lower temperature or for a shorter time. Normal recipes do not call for enough matcha in quantity - it's recommended to increase the amount of matcha for a beautiful flavour and color. 

Storage:
Best to store in an airtight, stainless steel container; keep in fridge/freezer after opening or in a cool shaded place. Avoid direct sunlight or high temperature.
