Definition of 'Congo'
From: GCIDE
- 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]
