I thought there was a newer association for Darjeeling tea with its own logo
than the Indian Tea Board. I'd love to be in an industry where the demand
outstrips the supply. In this case by definition you'll get the bad apples
to fill the void but more a nusance than a problem. I'd be more concerned
about the illegitimate use of any trademark. So when Brooke Bond and
Lipton's tells me it is 100% Darjeeling that is good enough for me,
trademark or not. The bogus tea argument could be applied to any imported
tea. This argument pops up about every 6 months in the group.
