sencha overture

Steamed green tea from the Shizuoka prefecture of Japan, harvested in the early summer (the second flush). Rich, brothy texture, with a clean, very refreshing green aroma. Rounded finish that coats the palate and sweet flavor reminiscent of tender steamed veggies and fresh seaweed. Classic Sencha flavor, perfect for fans of all things 'green.'

Steep at 170° for 2 minutes.

fresh from origin

In the Japanese tea tradition, the texture of the tea itself is extremely important. At the end of the tea making process, the tea master will carefully blend in tiny, broken up 'tea dust' to give the finished cup more body and richness. You can actually see these particles when you scoop out your tea. You also see them in your cup - Sencha should have a lovely, slightly cloudy appearance. This contributes to the 'umami' of the tea (the 5th taste - the others being sweet, salty, sour and bitter). Taste and enjoy the added richness umami gives your cup of tea!
