Tea Guy

I'd like to put in a plug for a Chinese place in Rocklin, California (Sacramento area), but I can't remember the name. They had a number of high-quality loose leaf teas on their menu.

Thanks,
Bill

I could have actually brewed some if I had thought to bring some tea
bags or loose tea.

In my experience, there are very few Chinese restaurants offering
diners the choice to drink high-quality tea, even for an added
charge. I think the restaurants believe their customers expect tea
gratis. So I bring my own loose leaves; the restaurants are always
happy to contribute the hot water.
