Fair Trade products, wherever available, help ensure that workers around the world get a fair price for their labour, which is good for people, fragile ecosystems, the environment and communities. Your tray includes instant and fresh coffee (and decaffeinated) & hot chocolate. We chose Zhena's Gypsy Teas partly for the Romany connections of travel, music, dance and storytelling and mainly because of Zhena's commitment to fair trade and the environment.
At 'The Romany Rest' enjoy the best of products that we feel we can offer you. Relax, enjoy your tea and listen to the soft singing of your own Gypsy Soul!
