Coffee & Treats in Jollyville

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 ($14.50 for 4.5-oz tin), or a soothing sip of Restful Blend ($13.50 for 2.8-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. Zhi Tea also offers a new sit-down tea service with locally baked artisan goods.

Tea leaves have long been revered for their forecasting properties, but your coffee preference could be telling people you work on an oil rig in the present. Reveal the real you with today’s Groupon, offering $20 worth of sips and snacks at Saxbys Coffee, a celebrated caffeination station that aims to tailor brews to personalities. You’ll receive four $5 coffee cash vouchers redeemable at the University of Texas campus location. Follow @Groupon_Says on Twitter.

The gift package you get with your Groupon will depend largely on the nature of your recipient. If your special someone lives life in large portions, treat him or her to the “Big Gift Box”—12 chocolate-dipped graham crackers touched up with pretty, palatable prints and edible pink shimmer dust, plus a 1.5-oz. chocolate-bark gift bag for dessert. If the love of your life considers variety the chocolate of life, you'll be safer with the “Some of Everything, Please” (eight chocolate ganache-filled truffles, two chocolate-dipped graham crackers, and a 3-oz. chocolate bark gift bag). Chocolate is a natural aphrodisiac that soothes the nerves as much as it stokes one's ardor, so either gift will provide adequate jet fuel for a night of romance.

Juicers turned to high speeds whizz inside of JuiceLand, wafting the fresh aromas of crisp apples and ginger into the air. Guests sip on elixirs that moments ago transformed from solid to liquid, enjoying flavor combinations that work to satisfy taste buds and fortify bodies with leafy greens and their health benefits. In addition to serving refreshing juices and smoothies, JuiceLand also curates five-day juice cleanses that equip guests with a gallon of freshly squeezed juices each day; the juices are designed to clean livers, improve skin texture, and provide enough light energy to complete the first transatlantic jog.

Outside of swimming laps in chocolate syrup, smoothies at Smoothie King are the tastiest way to improve your health. Smoothie King smoothies combine fresh fruit, natural juices, and special nutritional enhancers into more than 90 flavors (you can customize, add, and subtract the extras), all of which focus on achieving one of seven nutritional goals. Try an antioxidant-rich Pomegranate Punch with pomegranate, bananas, blueberries, apple juice, soy protein, and Turbinado sweetener to stay healthy. Weight-conscious en-smuthiasts can trim down and float away with the Celestial Cherry High, packed with bananas, black cherry, papaya, Turbinado, and honey, and unpacked with fat. You can also customize any smoothie by adding enhancers or “make it skinny” by cutting out the honey and Turbinado.
