Congou

Congou: Congou Con"gou, Congo Con"go, n. [Chin. kung-foo labor.] Black tea, of higher grade (finer leaf and less dusty) than the present bohea. Also called {English breakfast tea}. See {Tea}. [1913 Webster +PJC]
Of black teas, the great mass is called Congou, or the ``well worked'', a name which took the place of the Bohea of 150 years ago, and is now itself giving way to the term ``English breakfast tea.'' --S. W. Williams. [1913 Webster]
