A visit from the CEO of Zhena's Gypsy Tea

Zhena Muzyka, Founder & Mistress of Tea, was visiting Cottey College for the first time in 14 years. She graduated from Cottey in 1995. Zhena and her son, Sage, flew in to speak to the prospective Cottey students and their parents. I got the pleasure of her visit at the new store on the square and learned more about her company, http://www.gypsytea.com/. Gypsy teas will be available at Interior Motives this week.
