    Category: Business


    This week, Zhena is here to talk about her success with her sustainable award winning brand of pure organic tea that has turned into the fastest growing company on the gold coast: Zhena’s Gypsy Tea. In 2000, Zhena’s son Sage was born with a severe health defect. Barely making ends meet, and with no health insurance to cover Sage’s mounting medical costs, Zhena was faced with a serious challenge. Determined to earn the income necessary to support the needs of her son she used her degree in aromatherapy, love of tea and a small collection of money from friends and family to produce and start selling tea out of a cart on California street corners. Believing that selling her tins of tea could alter fate, Zhena became a purveyor of hope and the founder of Gypsy Tea. Today Sage is a healthy, energetic boy and the company has become more than just a product. Zhena’s Gypsy Tea doesn’t just market products, it markets meaning. These teas are made with a commitment to social responsibility, sustainability and the well-being of others. Apart from dedicating her company to blending her teas with the finest, highest grade of natural oils, herbs, fruits, and organic leaves, Zhena has committed her company to green practices. These include focusing on how the ingredients in her products are grown, the re-usable packaging that is used, even the tea bags play a role in promoting social good.

The PURE Project has been responsible for helping to launch and manage several other unique ventures including: FIGMENT - an annual arts and culture celebration that transforms an entire island in New York Harbor every summer; Openhouse - a pop-up retail exhibition gallery located in SoHo/NoLiTa, NYC with a triple bottom line. Openhouse is designed to act as a specialized venue for any event, product, brand, artist, or concept that promotes sustainability - be it through direct action or charitable contribution. Picnick - a sustainable restaurant concept that serves as a mini-model of consumer & eco-conscious food service.

Packaging and disposables are biodegradable or compostable. Many of the products directly support social and environmental causes and revenues are tied to the beautification of Battery Park. Ryan will fill us in on how creativity and innovation can be better tapped by all of us to create new and more wonderful social enterprises.

According to FLOW's website, the word FLOW, refers to an optimal state of human experience in which individuals are fully engaged in creative endeavors, experiencing fulfillment, happiness, and well-being; and the means by which increases in the free global flow of goods, services, capital, people, and information will accelerate human progress and well-being. The organization's priorities are listed as: 1. Open the world. 2. Free education. 3. Create institutions to prevent “tragedy of the commons” problems. We'll talk with Michael about that last priority and what it means in terms of allowing for a greater flow of positive change for our world (using the vehicle of business). If you'd like to join in the conversation and/or ask Michael a specific question, tune in this Thursday at 3 p.m. Pacific: www.blogtalkradio.com/planetgood.
