Do you have to fly/sail some leaves across half the circumference of the planet

If they emanate from Sri Lanka, then definitely. Ever since I took a two-week trip to that beautiful island and drank cups of the local tea everywhere I went, common-or-garden tea has never tasted quite the same.

So the tea flies over Cyprus to get to the UK and then it flies some of the way back again to get to Cyprus ... (anything extra you take on a plane adds to the C-footprint).

BTW Cheese is nutritionally more significant than tea (Pitta makes halloumi in the UK anyway).

strange..i thought that halloumi could only be made in Cyprus, wasnt there some debate recently:?
If halloumi is made in UK where do the ingrediants come from.
I.e Wensleydale can only come from there.
i dont think nutrition was part of the question to be honest.

Unfortunately, but not suprisingly, our local halloumi producers have not yet been able to agree on how to make it, so it is not yet registered properly.

I won't bother to translate "Siga tis bortes re koumbare" or "Joten fiksu jotta juoruta kotona kielenkäyttö että hupsu englannin kieli käsittää", so I will leave the 2 of you to argue about it.

Wensleydale is place name, as is Champagne. So you can only call the product that name, if it is made there.

Somerset Brie is made to the same recipe as French Brie but you cannot call it French Brie if it is made in Somerset, UK.

As for the nutritional quality of cheese, you first brought up Halloumi being transported to the UK. I was just pointing out the pointlessness of a particular (non-calorific beverage) leaf over another particular leaf being transported around with expenditure of energy!

Physics ....

point taken not offence.. you see someone tried to market wensleydale from a different place and got shot down. i was not aware that Halloumi wasnt registered, as recently didnt some turkish people make some and there was a big debate?
But anyway the tea thing was the original thread so i guess we can claim it as one of Great Britains customs.
