The issue 论争 Darjeeling is a name of a region in north-east India (see map). Now, look at the pack of tea above. Press on each photo to read the advdertizments and signs which include: 大吉岭是印度东北方的一个地名。请看上面的茶叶包装，观察这些在照片上的广告 和标示。 "Choice Organic Darjeeling Tea is a premier varietal, from the Makaibari Garden in the Himalayan foothills." "This experience of the Himalayas is yours." "Choice Organic Teas come from mountain top gardens tended by traditional methods" "Fair Trade guarantees fair wages to workers..." "True, unblended Darjeeling Teas are very rare, yet their existence is often claimed where true quality is unknown." A graphic symbol and text: "FAIR TRADE CERTIFIED" (on front side). Surely they mean that the tea inside the package was actually grown in the Darjeeling area in the Himlayan foothills, don't they? Or do they mean that the tea plants which they use were originally imported from that area? A person in the supermarket looking for Darjeeling Tea from Darjeeling hills near the Himalayans would probably feel very confident that this package holds "the real thing". Not only is the package saying that it contains "Darjeeling Tea", but it also carries two very large "Certified" signs on both its sides and it makes you think, in so many other ways, that the tea inside was grown in Darjeeling near the Himalayas. "原生种精选有机大吉岭茶，来自Himalaya丘陵的Makaibari庄园。" "属於您的喜马拉雅经验。" "精选有机大吉岭茶来自顶级茶园的古法化育。" "保证公平贸易，合理雇佣报酬。" "是的，单品大吉岭茶是相当稀有的，是以他们的经验总是被要求真正的品质来自 不明了。" 生动的象徵和内容：公平贸易保证（在前端） 当然，这意味此在包装品内的茶叶真实来自於喜马拉雅山丘的茶区，不是吗？ 甚或他们意味着他们所使用的茶株来自该区引进？一个在超级市场寻找大吉岭茶的人 对眼前品项产生确信，不仅是因为标签所载的"大吉岭茶"，同时也为了两枚相当大的 保证标志。 Note: The package and brand in the above photographs are used here only for the purpose of demonstrating a case: to show how companies go a long way to make their potential customers think that the package contains real Darjeeling Tea from Darjeeling, India, since there isn't quite anything like it in the world. Yet it is unclear if the tea was really grown there. The wording of the phrases and signs on the package lead us to think that the tea was grown and processed in Darjeeling, yet we didn't find a clear statement which assures us of that, and, on the other hand, the above package cost less than 3$ - which was the same price of other types of teas from the same series of teas sold in the supermarket; yet a real Darjeeling Tea grown in Darjeeling is usually more expensive than other teas, since it is chronically in higher demand than supply. Please read on and make your own judgement. 注意：在上部照片中的包装及品名在此仅是用来展示个案－揭露为数众多的公司行之 有年的去让潜在的消费者相信包装内含真正来自大吉岭的茶品。世界上在此部并未有 如印度者，就算是真实来自大吉岭产区也无法确定。这些在包装上意欲始我们产生确 信的措词，并未有明确的陈述作保证。在其他方面，上述的包装所费不满三块美金， 在该系列中，此与来自其他产区的茶品并无不同。然而真正产於大吉岭的大吉岭茶通 常身价高於他者多矣，自从经年累月以来的供不应求。所以，请仔细阅读并自行判断。 Kenyan coffee comes from Kenya, right? Congnac comes from the region of Cognac in France, right? And Darjeeling tea comes from the region of Darjeeling in India, on the footsteps of the Himalaya, right? Well, wrong! The name is often used to mislead consumers. 肯亚咖啡来自肯亚，是吧？一如干邑白兰地来自干邑区？而大吉岭茶来自印度的 大吉岭，在喜马拉雅山的山脚，对吧？大错特错！这些名字往往用来误导消费者 。 India alleges that Darjeeling produces only 10 million kgs tea but about 40 million kgs of 'Darjeeling tea' is available in the world market every year (Darjeelingnews.net) . That is why the Tea Board of India is taking steps to protect the name 'Darjeeling Tea' against erroneous use. 印度宣称大吉岭年产量仅一万吨，但全球市场上供应了四万吨。这也是为什麽印度茶叶 局正着手保护"大吉岭茶"的商标名，来对抗错误的名称使用。 Under section 3 of Part II of the World Trade Organization (WTO) TRIPS Agreement, products which are shown to have special qualities which are related to a certain geographical region, are regarded as Geographical Indicators (GI) and are protected, internationally, by the TRIPS Agreement, which is signed by most countries in the World. 在WTO的TRIPS协定的第三段第二部份，产品被标示具有特别品质且系与特定地理上 区域相关者，将被视为地理性指标产物并受保护。而此份协定被大多数的国家所签署。 But, "it ain't necessarily so..". As this site shows and explains, the protection of Geographical Indicators is imposed only on Wines and Spirits so far. Products like Darjeeling Tea, Columbian Coffee etc., which are clearly associated with a specific geographical region, are still not acknoledged by the WTO to be Geographical Indicators according to the TRIPS agreement. 但事实并非如此。如同本站所揭露及解释，地理性指标产物的保护目前只被施用在酒品 上。产品如大吉岭茶、哥伦比亚咖啡等具有同样性质者，仍旧未被WTO所承认而划规为 TRIPS协定的地理性指标产物。 -- 今天，是相约见面的日子。 ╭ ┌─ ╱∕／ / 你好吗。 │ ╭╮ ├─ 最近过的如何呢？有没有好好睡？ ╰─╰╯╲╱ └─ ＷＦＳＭ 我？ 你问我嘛？我知道你一定会问我的。 我很坚强的，你看。 φlovewfsmφ 今天、天空灰灰的。 心也下了场大雨 --
