ZHENA'S GYPSY TEA: With six dollars in her pocket, Zhena Muzyka started Zhena's Gypsy Tea more than six years ago from a small tea cart in her neighborhood. Today, Zhena's Gypsy Tea has become a global leader in organic and Fair Trade practices and is sold in more than 6,000 retail locations worldwide. Zhena has uplifted communities in Sri Lanka, India and China, ensuring fair working conditions, childcare, healthcare, maternity leave and education to the women who work in the fields. Additionally, she has become a compelling advocate and example for women in business, collaborating with organizations such as C.E.O. Women. Together the two enterprises have generated economic opportunities for low-income immigrant and refugee women.
Zhena's Gypsy Tea blends have been called, "Heaven in a cup." They use essential oils, organic fruit extracts, and the most incredible fair trade and organically grown tea leaves. They work in India with tea growers and see firsthand that their theory in the fair trade fields is so right. |
