Breathe the soothing bouquets of oolong, sencha, rooibos, and jasmine pearls with today's piping-hot Groupon: $20 worth of hand-plucked, organic, fair-trade teas at the Zhi Tea Gallery, located at 4607 Bolm Rd. A tin of tea is the perfect gift for friends in need of relaxation or for someone who is indifferent to tea, but enjoys fashioning flutes out of tin containers.

Zhi's fine teas are lovingly hand-selected by the owners, each of whom has three hands to more lovingly hand-select. Zhi is sure to please any teaophile with its comprehensive catalog of white, green, oolong, black, flavored, and herbal teas. If you're looking for an exotic cup of Sweet Desert Delight ($14.50 per 4.2-oz tin), an afternoon slurp of sweet and nutty Genmaicha ($13.50 for 2.5-oz tin), or a soothing sip of Restful Blend ($10.50 for 1.9-oz tin) before bed, Zhi will hook up your leafy hankerings. Zhi Tea is also a great resource for tea newbies: the friendly owners are happy to make recommendations, and offer sniffs and sample sips of their wares.

Note: Groupon is also valid at the downtown Austin Farmer's Market at the Zhi Tea booth on Saturdays.
