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. See {Tea}. Of black teas, the great mass is called Congou, or the [bd]well worked[b8], a name which took the place of the Bohea of 150 years ago, and is now itself giving way to the term [bd]English breakfast tea.[b8] --S. W. Williams. |
