From The Steeping Room

Sichuan Province in Western China is considered by many scholars to be the home of the first commercial tea ventures. From there tea production followed the flow of the Yangtze River on its way to the East China Sea. Sichuan’s long history of tea making shows itself at its best in this fine black tea. And this tea not only has centuries tea experience behind it, it is also a congou. “Congou” is a variation on “kungfu.” Both mean to develop skills through patience, focus, and practice. In tea congou specifically refers to producing tea from the raw leaf. It focuses on producing delicate, unbroken leaves of even length. Such leaves produce a consistent and exquisite drink.

Our Sichaun Congou is very toasty with a long lasting pleasant sweetness.

Late night tea time! Another term paper, another delicious cup of tea. I absolutely love this. It came as a sample in my most recent order. I think I like it even more than my beloved Golden Monkey.
It tastes beautifully of chocolate, chocolate, and more chocolate. It’s similar in taste to their golden monkey, but has a richer taste. It’s a little more dark chocolate than cocoa. It’s got a smooth roasted nutty flavor in the background, too. Yum yum. Maybe I’ll buy more as a treat when my finals are done!
