Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure and Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ORGANIZATION
 
Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying unaudited financial statements are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and item 310 under subpart A of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal occurring accruals) considered necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading, have been included. Operating results for the nine months ended February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending May 31, 2012. The financial statements are presented on the accrual basis.
 
Organization
 
Zhong Sen International Tea Company (“The Company”) was incorporated on January 30, 2008, in the State of Florida. The Company has the principal business objective of providing sales and marketing consulting services to small to medium sized Chinese tea producing companies who wish to export and distribute high quality Chinese tea products worldwide. The Company commenced business activities in August, 2008, when it entered into a related party Sales and Marketing Agreement with Yunnan Zhongsen Group, Ltd (YZG) (a/k/a Yunnan Zhongsen Commercial Forest Plantation Group Inc., a/k/a Yunnan Zhongsen Forest Co., Ltd.), a company located in Kunming, China, to provide sales and marketing consulting services for YZG’s tea and tea related business lines. 
 
 Functional Currency
 
We reviewed the requirements as set forth in FASB ASC 830-10-55-4, "in those instances in which the indicators are mixed and the functional currency is not obvious, management's judgment will be required to determine the functional currency that most faithfully portrays the economic results of the entity's operations and thereby best achieves the objectives of foreign currency translation set forth in paragraph 830-10-10-2."  Paragraph 830-10-10-2 provides that the foreign currency translation must accurately reflect the reporting company's cash flows and equity when applying a rate change.   Both our functional and reporting currency is US Dollars. The Company uses the US Dollar as this is the economic environment of its operations. The Company maintains its bank account in US Dollars, pays invoices in US Dollars, and most agreements require the amounts to be settled in US Dollars. We therefore feel that the US Dollar is our functional currency.
 
Use of Estimates:
 
 The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those results.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
The Company recognizes revenue from marketing arrangements in accordance with FASB ASC No. 605, “Revenue Recognition”. In all cases, revenue is recognized at the time the commissions or fees have been earned, which is upon the completion of the sale and when the price is fixed and determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.
  
Cash and Cash Equivalents, and Credit Risk:
 
For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers all cash accounts with maturities of 90 days or less and which are not subject to withdrawal restrictions or penalties, as cash and cash equivalents in the accompanying balance sheet.
 
Accounts Receivable
 
The Company is required to estimate the collectability of its accounts receivable. The Company's reserve for doubtful accounts is estimated by management based on a review of historic losses and the age of existing receivables from specific customers. In January 2012 the Company received a $25,000 payment on past due account receivable. The payment was recorded as a reduction of the reserve for doubtful accounts.  As of February 29, 2012 and May 31, 2011, the Company recorded a reserve for doubtful accounts of $32,640 and $57,640, respectively.
 
Concentration of Credit Risk
 
 During the three and nine months ended February 28, 2011 one related party customer located in China accounted for 100% of the Company's sales. The same related party customer accounted for 100% of accounts receivable as of February 29, 2012 and May 31, 2011.
 
Stock Compensation
 
The Company follows FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 718 – Compensation – Stock Compensation for share based payments to employees.  The Company follows FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 505 for share based payments to Non-Employees
 
 Segments
 
The Company operates in one segment and therefore segment information is not presented.  100% of our sales revenue is derived from a company located in China and 100% of our accounts receivable balances are from the same customer located in China.  Please refer to the above “Concentration of Credit Risk”.
 
 Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments including accounts receivable, loans payable to shareholders and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity for these instruments.
 
Evaluation of Intangible Asset for Impairment
 
 On a quarterly basis, management reviews its current and expected future cash flow derived from its intangible assets and determines if any impairment exists and if there is a need to record an impairment. We will update our future filings to include our accounting policy for evaluating intangible assets for impairment.
 
The Company has capitalized the value of the Sales and Marketing agreement. The Management determined upon review of current and expected future cash flow derived from the Sales and Marketing Agreement that the value of the Agreement had been impaired. As of May 31, 2011 the Company has recorded an impairment on the agreement in the amount of $499,000. The Company issued 83,333 shares of common stock valued at $50,000 or $.60 per share as the finder’s fee. The Company expensed the value of the common stock issued at August 31, 2008.
 
The Company evaluates the recoverability of the sales and marketing agreement annually and whenever events or circumstance make it more likely than not that impairment may have occurred. Several factors are used to evaluate the intangible asset, including management’s plans for future operations and recent operating results. In the event facts and circumstances indicate the carrying value of the license agreement is impaired, the license agreements carrying value will be reduced to its implied fair value through a charge to operating expenses. At May 31, 2011, the Company evaluated the recoverability of the sales and marketing agreement, and the collectability of related accounts receivable. The Company determined that as a result of an increase in the possibility of the uncollectability of its accounts receivable, the sales and marketing agreement should be further impaired.  During the year ended May 31, 2011, the Company recorded an impairment on the Agreement of $120,000.
  
 Earnings Per Share:
 
Basic and diluted net loss per common share is computed based upon the weighted average common shares outstanding as defined by FASB ASC No. 260, “Earnings Per Share.” As of February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011, there were no common share equivalents outstanding.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
 ASU No. 2011-03; Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements.  In April, 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-03. The amendments in this ASU remove from the assessment of effective control the criterion relating to the transferor’s ability to repurchase or redeem financial assets on substantially the agreed terms, even in the event of default by the transferee. The amendments in this ASU also eliminate the requirement to demonstrate that the transferor possesses adequate collateral to fund substantially all the cost of purchasing replacement financial assets.
 
The guidance in this ASU is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2011. The guidance should be applied prospectively to transactions or modifications of existing transactions that occur on or after the effective date. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company will adopt the methodologies prescribed by this ASU by the date required, and does not anticipate that the ASU will have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.
 
ASU No. 2011-04; Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.   In May, 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04. The amendments in this ASU generally represent clarifications of Topic 820, but also include some instances where a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or disclosing information about fair value measurements has changed.  This ASU results in common principles and requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.  The amendments in this ASU are to be applied prospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early application by public entities is not permitted.
 
The Company will adopt the methodologies prescribed by this ASU by the date required, and does not anticipate that the ASU will have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.
 
ASU No. 2011-05; Amendments to Topic 220, Comprehensive Income.  In June, 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05. Under the amendments in this ASU, an entity has the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both choices, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. This ASU eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity. The amendments in this ASU do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income.
 
The amendments in this ASU should be applied retrospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted, because compliance with the amendments is already permitted. The amendments do not require any transition disclosures. Due to the recency of this pronouncement, the Company is evaluating its timing of adoption of ASU 2011-05, but will adopt the ASU retrospectively by the due date.
