it depends entirely on the timezone (tz) your server is located in. as pointed out using the java style "LONG" or "FULL" mask will get you the tz id for the tz that your server is in.

if you want the tz local to the user, that's another matter entierly.

Dates don't really have timezones... it's more of a time thing.  So the function you're after is timeFormat()...
