souchong

Of Green teas there are hardly any left, neither fine Souchong nor Congos, but ordinary, in abundance.

Davy obtained 32·5 of extract from Souchong tea; of which 10 were precipitated by gelatine.

The next picking is called Souchong; as the leaves grow larger and more mature, they form Congou; and the last picking is Bohea.

Hyson tea and Souchong mixed together, half and half, is a pleasant beverage, and is more healthy than green tea alone.

It is not correct to say that the Souchong is an inferior tea.
