Type: Green. Flavors: Lemon Myrtle and Jasmine.
I like this green tea. The scent is herbal and lemony. I only drink this tea with honey.The flavor is supremely lemony! Its a mild flavored tea, and I while I can taste the green tea it isn't overpowering. I don't get the Jasmine, but I'm thinking that its smoothing out the grassy-ness of the green tea. 8 out of 10

Zhena's Gypsy Tea: Sense of Peace White Tea
Type: White. Flavors: Egyptian mint and Rose Petals. Right now I'm drinking a cup of this in celebration at the new-found peace in Egypt! I love the mint and rose together!! The scent when you open the canister is very minty, but the rose deepens and warms the scent. This is a very flavorful white tea! Being a black tea drinker, I tend to shy away from white teas, since they are very light in flavor. But I love mint tea and I love rose tea, and in a special way I love white tea so I figured I'd at least try this one. I love white tea for its health benefits, even if it does seem like I'm drinking sweetened, hot water...
Anyway, I love this white tea, almost as much as I love Celestial Seasonings Pear White Tea. I always drink white tea with honey, but nothing else. From first sip to last, you can taste the mint and rose fairly strongly. Its not as cooling as mint tea, which can be a good thing. Overall I'm not disappointed with this tea.

Zhena's Gypsy Tea; Gypsy Rose
Tea: Black (Sri Lankan and Indian). The only other ingredient is Rose Petals. I love this tea as milk tea, it softens the bitterness of the rose and of the black tea. I find this tea incredibly soothing and when you open the canister its like early Autumn.... You just get this wonderful aroma of fresh rose. This tea is Certified Organic and Fair Trade, and this tea is Kosher. 10 out of 10

Review: Zhena's Gypsy Tea; Coconut Chai
I love this brand and this specific tea! This is probably my favorite of the line. This Chai is a blend of Ceylon and Assam black tea, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, cloves, orange peel, nutmeg, black pepper, and coconut. This tea is all natural, organic, and certified Fair Trade, which I really support! It has about 40mg of Caffeine. The problem I've found with this tea, is that, to get a strong brew... you have to pretty extensively boil the tea bag, even then I add two. So it is a fairly weak tea, but its super delicious. I definitely recommend this! Zhena's Gypsy Tea.
