Black teas from China are sometimes referred to as China Congou, which
are basically either of the Keemun or the Yunnan variety. From there
the quality or style varies greatly, such as organic or bold, as well
as the province or growing elevation from where the tea is grown.

Hope this helps.

There are many more, and not necessarily only from Keemun and Yunnan.

There are Chinese Black teas, and Chinese Red teas, which are known as
'black tea' in the West. Which one are you talking of?

Chinese Black tea is also known as Hei Cha. I'm typing up a list of this
tea for friends, and if you are interested, e-mail me offline and I'll mail
it to you.

Hi Danny,

China is a huge export of tea. Keemun and Yunnan are a great place to
start. I'm referring to China's red teas, known as black tea here in
the West. Also considerable is Pu-Erh, usually out of Yunnan, another
fun China black.

If it's a big deal don't worry about it otherwise Thanks. If somebody
tells me Huang Jin Gui taste like sweet scented Osmanthus it does
otherwise it doesn't. I took some Indian friends to an Asian grocery
with a booth that serves Boba after a wonderful eggplant curry. Those
black eyeballs haunted me all night because we passed around the iced
smoothie and hot milk concoctions.
