The whole world now recognizes the fact that this magical brew owes its unique eloquence
to its place of origin,
the misty hills of Darjeeling.
Darjeeling Tea has now been registered as a GI (Geographical Indication) in India. Which officially places Darjeeling Tea in the esteemed company of a Cognac or
a Champagne- other famous GIs.
The unique geographical conditions of Darjeeling help make its teas such a rarity. Just the way Cognac and Champagne are rare because they can only come from specific
region of France.
To celebrate this new rise in the status for India, just raise your cup!
Any product that originates in a country of region thereof and whose quality, reputation or other characteristic is attributable
to its geographical origin is regarded as GI and is protected internationally.
- Article 22 of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) - TRIPS Agreement of 'Protection of Geographical Indications'. |
