What is wrong with Prince of Wales or Lapsang Souchong in the morning?
I would think that an oolong would be a little bit too light for something
early in the morning, but then here it is 9:30 and I am having a
tikuanyin right now.

Most of the "breakfast" teas are very robust and often heavily charged
with Uva-grown Ceylon teas. Either you like that or you don't. If you
don't, keemun in the morning sounds just fine to me.
