By the way, I have here a can of Green Label. It says

"The rare flavour of 100% pure Darjeeling tea"

"100% pure Darjeeling. High above the mist lines, in the soft shades of the
Himalayas, the gentle rain and the cool mountain winds makes the soil porous
and rich. Like none other. Only this unspoiled earth can give you the
unique flavour of Lipton Green Label - the 100% pure Darjeeling Tea"
