Gong Fu from Zhi Tea

Oh my roasty, chocolatey, earthy, touch of fruity/winey on the end of the sip, completely delicious friend, welcome to my cupboard! I completely agree with LiberTEAS that this brings to mind Dawn from the Simple Leaf, only a Chinese instead of Indian, perfect sans additions version! Wow, wow, wow! I’m completely head over heels in LOVE!

It’s really nice when you get to the place when you can read where a certain tea hails from, read the tasting notes from people who you share the taste of, and can order 8oz of a tea without tasting it and KNOW that you are going to love it. I have Steepster and my beloved Steepsterites to thank for this :) THANK YOU!

Bio

I love to cook, bake, read, paint, knit, do needlework, and garden. I need my coffee, but I LOVE my tea. I work at an Art School, and I am currently taking classes in order to become certified to teach.

I enjoy writing tasting notes, but have decided not to numerically rate teas as of 9/14/10. For an explanation, see my looooong tasting note about Mountain Malt from the Simple Leaf.

My favorites:
Chinese black teas
A good “milk and sugar” English style black
Earl Grey (classic, and in all variations!)
Vanilla teas (classic, and in all variations!)
Jasmine, Rose, Violet and other froofy, flowery teas!
An Occasional Oolong
Flavored Rooibos
Herbal Tisanes
