Sipping tea can be a simultaneously relaxing and invigorating experience, like fighting a bear while sleepwalking or bathing in energy drink. Wake yourself up to cozy comfort with today’s Groupon: for $7, you get $15 worth of loose leaf tea, café fare, and more at Zencha Tea Bar in Collingwood.

Zencha Tea Bar soothes sippers with 80 different varieties of loose-leaf teas and a full menu of light lunch fare and desserts. Sample any of the bubbling brews available in a cup ($2.25) or pot ($5.25 for premium teas, $6.95 for rare), or step up to an ever-popular Chai latte ($3.25) with classic black tea, green tea, or black tea with chocolate soy. A verdant bowl of Matcha ($3.50) lends itself to sessions of restful sipping or bouts of full-contact tea ceremonies. A litany of lunches such as a roast beef sandwich with dijon and havarti ($5.95) or a spicy dahl lentil rice bowl ($7.25) tame teatime appetites, and sweet treats such as muffins ($3.25), cookies ($1.50) and biscotti ($1.25) put a dulcet note to a mellow cup of tea, like the customary kiss post-chess match.
