Our Credo

Credo for Zhena’s Gypsy Tea Employees, Shareholders, Vendor-Partners, Certifiers, Retail Partners and Representatives.

Zhena's Gypsy Tea is a socially responsible inspiration to consumers worldwide. With renown, organic and fair trade certified tea potions, we have affected change in the fields where our teas are grown and harvested through providing our workers with healthcare, guaranteed maternity leave, childcare, education, better working conditions, autonomy and no child labor. Our passion is kindness and proving that business is the most powerful force in the world to shift the global economy into abundance for all.

Zhena’s Gypsy Tea is committed to creating a common bond of Humanity through building a sustainable business and sharing its resources to help put an end to poverty in the regions of the earth where its products are sourced and sold.

We do this by purchasing raw materials from impoverished communities and paying a Fair Price along with a Fair Trade Premium to shift the local economies into sustainable economies. This ensures that we in turn have sustainable human relations and sustainable supply chains.
