Cloud Nine

From my recent trip to the Gong Fu Tea, the other green tea I got was called Cloud Nine.
So the Cloud Nine is very berry. The strawberry, rhubarb and raspberry combine together to give a general berry taste. The smell of the tea before and after infusing in hot water is quite nice.

One of my co-workers apparently knows some people there (her oldest son and the owners son or something like that) and she told me that they're over in China or somewhere right now getting some new teas. Between Gong Fu Tea and Adagio I'm pretty happy in my tea selections (I just ordered an Iced tea set from Adagio and some more of their teas). The thing I like about Adagio over Gong Fu is that they uses metal tins. Gong Fu uses these metallic bags, where I suppose they keep the same freshness, I just like the tins better. Adagio also has these nice cheap sampler tins (about 10 servings). I was able to order 7 samplers for $14, which is not bad at all. So maybe the Gong Fu should consider that. What if I bought something based on the smell and decided that I didn't like the taste? The genmai cha from Adagio, that I got with the sampler pack, smells ok, but I fund the nutty taste not ot my liking...

Oh well..anyways...Cloud Nine is quite good.
