Sencha Overture

Adagio Teas – Sencha Overture

Adagio Teas Sencha Overture is a steamed green tea from Japan with a vegetable, seaweed flavor and green aroma. A very green tea.

Sencha is a steamed green tea from the Shizuoka prefecture of Japan, harvested in the early summer (the second flush). It produces a rich, brothy texture, with a clean, very refreshing green aroma. The cup develops a sweet flavor reminiscent of tender steamed veggies and fresh seaweed, with a rounded finish that coats the palate at the end. Our Sencha Overture has a classic sencha flavor, perfect for fans of all things ‘green.’

Sencha is a popular tea to add with other herbs and blends, almost as much so as gunpowder. Traditionally, matcha is made from sencha leaves that are finely ground and sifted. This is a tea for the lover of quality and acquired taste.

Fresh From Origin
An overture is an instrumental opening for shows like ballets, operas, and musicals. Starting in the 17th century, they carried all the way through to the popular movie musicals of the 1950s and beyond. While some overtures are composed as stand-alone pieces, they can also be used to introduce themes, melodies, or dramatic elements of the piece that will follow. Such is the case with our Sencha Overture. Take a sip, and you’ll have a delicious preview of all the good things to come.
