Has anyone bought from Gypsy Tea?

http://www.gypsytea.com/

I like the fact that they are fair-trade teas! I usually buy fair-trade
coffee for the wife.

Thanks for any feedback,

John

Fair trade and organic. I have bought, but have not yet sampled, some
of their teabags. I believe all of their teas are flavors and mixtures.

I have no evidence either way, but its easy to claim "fair trade" and put a
icon on the web site.
Women's tea rituals? Tea with magic? I'll pass.

Hmmm, too many flavored teas for my taste. I wonder if they do samples...

Okay, out of sequence I tried the Gypsy King Chai. Alex, this would
put hair on your chest, not like those effete puerh's you favor. The
spices are strong and fresh, with a predominence of clove. It hardly
matters what tea they're mixed with. The palmistry message might tell
you something you do not know about yourself. Toci

And I tried Gypsy Love for lunch (drunk after a peanut butter and
marmalade sandwich on rye.) This is much more real tea- it was
slightly bitter, so I'll time it next time I brew it. It was very
generic tea; one had to concentrate to either smell or taste the rose
petals. This is all the Gypsy tea I have, but I intend to get their
breakfast blend. Toci

You don't expect me to get drunk on whole wheat, do you? Toci

Dear toci -

I have enough chesthair of my own, but people who need more, should
definitely take note in your experience.
I enjoy spices and even have a favorite spice drink (3-4 good dashes of
fresh cayenne , half a lemon squeezed and thrown into the cup, 1-2 teaspoons
of honey + boiling water. Good drink right before you practice your
tameshigiri. Cloves? Sure. Some may even like a dash of artillery powder,
just to grow some additional hair some place (or places).

My point - it has NOTHING to do with tea.

Now about palmistry.
If I would ever break the law forbidding the sons of Covenant to try to know
the future and/or use Amorean or Chaldean magic, I would not waste my time
with "palmistry-on-the tea-box". Being born and raised in a country with the
largest Rom population in the world and having lots of experience with them
including life with Romale in tabors on Moldavia/Bessarabian border I grew
to admire many thing about them, mainly their unparalleled personal bravery,
unbelievable tolerance to pain, their godly talent for everything musical.
But buying something from a Rom? That is if she is Rom, which I doubt very
much because she has that feminist flavor galore on her web site and even
putting these two words in one sentence in beyond funny for anyone who knows
anything about Rom life.
So, its a tea so spiced that there is no tea taste left (your own admission)
with a teabox palm-reading from a feminist Rom, who is most probably just a
homegrown West Coat new wave Rom wannabe. Yes, that's a Gypsy Tea alright!

Now for anyone who wants to taste real taste of Rom, two recopies -
1. A night in Nevada desert (any starry flat landscape will do) with a large
campfire one-on-one with a new woman in your life and
2. "A Tu Vera", "El Camino" and "Viento del Arena" by Gipsy Kings (not Gypsy
Kings, mind you!). In that exact sequence. But hold on to your coconuts!
This music is known to make lip-tight WASPS to quit your jobs and run away
to the lush meadows of Bessarabia.
And no, it won't grow more hair on your chest.

Well, now I know what to drink before the next time I practice
tameshigiri. How big is your sword? I haven't tried gunpowder yet,
being sort of stuck on sencha. I'm sure the ancients foresaw to their
horror palmistry on a tea cannister, and did their best to have us do
something else while waiting for water to boil, or simmer as the case
may be. I think Zonia, or whatever her name is, is East Coast. Onward
through the storm. Toci

Nope. No East Coast - she is at the Ojai Valley, CA. The spa capital of
Southern CA. Or so I was told.

Cheers -

Sasha.

Lew,

I think he meant, on "wry."
