Zhena’s Gypsy Tea formulates and sells a variety of bagged organic, Fair Trade teas. All of Zhena’s tea blends are sourced from Fair Trade, organic gardens in Sri Lanka, India and two Fair Trade organic projects in China.  The company has direct relationships with its tea growers, the tea pluckers, and the families who depend on the income from its fair trade purchases. Zhena guarantees only the finest, highest grade essential oils of fruits and flowers used in its hand-blended teas, and only natural flavorings of liqueurs and spices are used. The natural flavors are derived primarily from organic fruits, spices, herbs with a base of either rice or olive oil, or an organic alcohol base. They are certified GMO and allergen free and are 100% natural.

The goal of Zhena’s Gypsy Tea is to end poverty in the areas where the firm purchases its raw materials. The way the firm accomplishes its goals is by rebuilding communities where it buys its materials and choosing to purchase from communities in need instead of trying to get the best price.
