Do you have any recommendation for Congous (or other black teas)
similar to but still distinct from Golden Yunnan? I prefer to
drink my teas without milk and sugar. I've tried top-quality
whole leaf Assam but not found it to be of my taste. *I also
like true Lapsang Souchong (and Darjeeling, but that's a
different category).

There are some very good Fujian congous, including Golden Monkey
and Zhenghe (or Chingwo, depending on how it's transliterated.)

I really like the Zheng from Chado in L.A. - just about the best
I've had.

I haven't had it from that vendor, but it can be gorgeous, unusually
soft and delicate for a black/red. It's made from a cultivar mostly
used for white tea.
