Scented leaf is a great place in many levels. The staff is extremely helpful in educating you about all the various types, methods and options of tea. You'll see lots of people studying, hanging out and relaxing. I got one of the recommended drinks with mango tea, lemonade and a little sweetener. Really nice on a warm day. They're open late so it's a popular spot to study and with it being so close to campus it's easily accessible from the dorms. If you like tea this is a way better choice than going to Starbucks on university. The prices are reasonable and if you want a more mellow vibe check out their downtown location. read more

This place has the best teas. They have so many different types of tea and such good flavors. They also make really good recommendations if you arnt sure what to get, they are good at mixing flavors! Good treats, too. Great place to hang out while working on computer. read more

Really cool place. Great atmosphere, good service, and lots of varieties of tea. Enjoyed it a lot.

This place is a HIT! Every new drink I have tried has been so delicious. The staff is all very knowledgeable of their menu items and I have never been disappointed by their recommendations. I am a first year at the U of A, and will certainly be coming here for a tea and study session until I graduate! read more

Always such a good vibe inside and the tearistas are the bestttt! My favorite thing is to ask them to surprise me.

Thanks bud love for doing it thanks again for letting me know you got a new friend lol thanks lord bless you

Are you missing Teavana and other tea stores? Then this is definitely the place for you! Come in for all kinds of different tea experiences. Pay for a $1 refill upfront, then the next refill is free. They're more than willing to let you try some of the teas on tap if you're not sure what you're getting. Amazing, amazing flavors all the way around. You can also buy it buy the ounce to take home and brew yourself. My favorite right now: The Hibiscus tea, add some lemonade. Lightly ice it. Yum, yum, all kinds of summer fun! read more

Amazing drinks! Great owner and staff!! Add glitter... bishhh... it'll change your life!

I have been twice since the tea house opened earlier this month. I like the feel of this place -- tall glass windows bring in plenty of natural light, the wooden seats are comfortable as is the lounge-type area. The space is small, but quite comfortable and cozy. I have tried one of the spiced teas (as a courtesy, that was nice and generous!) and the cream of mushroom soup. The soup was $6 for a bowl and a pita, which I opted to forgo for dietary reasons. The soup was somewhat thin, which surprised me. It wasn't water-thin, but more like the feel of whole milk. But wow! I loved the flavor! I will be back for the soup alone! And I hear they have minestrone, tomato basil and a whole host of others on rotation. Nice -- easy, quick meal. But the price is somewhat steep for soup. You can get a soup and salad across the way for just about $1 more. Bummer. I understand that they will be bringing more sandwiches and homemade recipes on board once school begins Aug. 20. For now, the menu is somewhat limited -- and rightfully slow. Business is miserable along the streetcar's route. That's a nudge to come check out the locally-owned establishments along University, Fourth Ave. and Speedway Blvd. Anyway, the tea display is pretty sweet. There are loose mounds of dried tea leaves, some mixed with flowers and seeds. Nice touch. You get the sense that you are getting the good, authentic stuff. read more

I love there variety of tea. They have fast service but the lines due tend to get long. I go and study there a lot of the times. Kinda nosy but a good place to meet friends and study read more

My favorite place ever! Has a tea for everyone and the employees are so sweet. The environment is the best thing ever and I love just sitting in there. It is such a good boost on a bad day and also the best place to sit and do work! read more

Wonderful teas. Multiple flavors on tap, like beers are at a bar! We sampled several, before deciding on our selections. Then we hung on to our cups as we traveled around town on the Tucson Food Tour. Then we came back with our cups and got refills for half price. We liked this so much, we visited another location the next day, and got two different flavors. We hung out reading on a beautiful day, again refilling for half price, before exploring more of the city. Very enjoyable and refreshing!!!! read more

The people that work here are so nice! I've never had a bad experience here and the employees are good at making the ordering process efficient and engaging. Great customer service and great tea :) read more

One of the coolest new spots in Tucson! They have an amazing interior and the staff is friendly. Tea is really good as well! I've been on multiple days and my only complaint is the cleanliness level, the floors are always dusty and the bathrooms are dirty. Real potential, if they work on the cleanliness read more

Super kind employees. I deal with an anxiety based stutter, some days I can talk no problem, and some days I can't even get through a sentence without stuttering every word. The employees are always very kind and allow me to regain my composure when I order if I stutter. They are not sarcastic when asking me to repeat if needed, and they are very friendly. read more

I wish we had a Scented Leaf in Denver because this place could actually get me off of my coffee addiction! It was pretty toasty in Tucson so I ordered an iced London fog and it was yummy. The best part is if you go back the same day, a refill from their tapped iced teas are only $1 and your second refill is FREE. FREE, my favorite four letter eff word! Keep on rocking, Scented Leaf. read more

I've only been to scented leaf a couple of times, but I always have an amazing experience. This last time in particular, Justin was so incredibly helpful and kind--his conversation was great and the tea he made me was incredible!!! Would recommend :)) read more

This place is awesome! The drinks are affordable and very healthy. I've been here a few times with my girlfriend and glad I found this place. It's pretty cool that you can get your 2nd refill (with their teas on tap) for $1 and your 3rd refill is free! read more

Scented Leaf Tea House - Green tea mango w/ strawberry lemonade - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

While I enjoyed the extensive loose leaf tea collection, I didn't quite know what I was in for in the parking department... You're basically in the heart of U of A and it's a little crazy. The spots in front of the store require you to back into them, and anywhere you park there's a meter. I ended up in a parking garage across the street, which wasn't too bad, but still a little annoying. I had a pot of the Meyer lemon tea on the barista's recommendation. It was very good, but I kinda wish I'd tried something else instead--the Earl Grey Creme looked amazing. Also wasn't a fan of the loud club music playing, but headphones and my own music cured that. I probably wouldn't go back here anytime soon, mostly cause I don't like paying for parking on top of my drink. read more

See all

So we went on the Tucson food tour and we quite confused why we would be stopping at a tea house. This was the first stop on the tour and we must say we were blown away. We had the prickly pear gusher (low sweet) and it was the best iced tea we have ever had. These were so good we went back after the tour and got our 50 cent refill. After your second refill they are free for the rest of the day. So in closing if you haven't been there go now. read more

My absolute favorite place to study on campus! Great vibe and amazing tea. Not much more I could ask for! Space does tend to be limited so plan ahead before going during peak hours. read more

We're travelers and thought we'd stop in Tucson on our trip. I love love love this place! The employees were so kind and lively as though they enjoyed being there and speaking with their visitors. I am a tea fanatic and this place was perfect for trying different novelty tea blends for beginners or experienced connoisseurs. They have a wall of labeled teas with clear pictures of the tea so that as a customer you can get a first look of what the blends look like. It gives everyone more ease with choosing from a wide variety of quality teas. Being a traveler of decent moral this place was perfect to come to relax, recharge, get some information from the net and more importantly to feel good! I would absolutely come back to Tucson remembering this place on my travels. It has a very peaceful atmosphere, here's a shout out to the owner for giving the love within and without! Thank you! read more

Yaaaaas! I'm in love! There are both teas on tap with the most popular flavors, as well as teas ready to freshly brew. Refills are cheap, and you can choose to get a different tea as your refill, giving you the chance to try two or three teas for cheap! The people working are really knowledgable and they have good recommendations. Get here now and enjoy a tea! You won't regret it! read more

This place is amazing! We were greeted right away when we walked in and asked if it was our first time being there. She explained how it worked and made some recommendations! We bought our first iced teas and paid for a refill up-front, then got our refill before we wandered around downtown a bit. We stopped there again for the third (and free!) refill for the walk home (so necessary in hot Tucson!). We tried a young grasshopper, vanilla chai, mango gusher, fruity Thai, and a coconut lavender/piña colada mix - they were all so delicious! I like how they let you use coconut milk instead of almond milk, which is great for my allergies. The staff are super friendly and the place is not at all pretentious or unapproachable like some places downtown (*cough* shot in the dark cafe). We will definitely be back! read more

The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable of all their products. You can tell them your likes and dislikes, sample, and receive recommendations for tea beverages. I was a little overwhelmed by the variety of teas, but with their assurance, I got a tasty chai beverage. The have a great deal for refills too. The space is cozy. I look forward to visiting again. read more

This was quite a unique and interesting place. Stopped in to grab tea for the afternoon during a working conference. The staff was very friendly, not fast but friendly.

********TO MANAGEMENT************* *************************************** Near perfect EXCEPT for sanitation of the straws. Please switch to straws that come individually wrapped!! I don't want my barista touching my straws with their BARE hands. I literally witnessed one gentlemen touch his eyebrows and did not see him wash his hands afterwards. That same hand will be used to pick up straws for the next drink. On a positive note, he was very nice and answered any questions that I had. ******************************************* read more

Honestly, if you're a UA student, you know scented leaf is where it's at! They have been there for me for all the caffeine fixes I've needed read more

Cool place for tea! I came here on a hot summer day to do some school work. The internet was fast and the tea was very refreshing! The girl helping me decide on a tea was very sweet and patient, as I wanted to try many of the teas-on-tap before choosing. At The Scented Leaf you are able to customize your drink which is neat. I ended up ordering the raspberry rose with lemonade mixed into it. I enjoyed it and see myself coming back one day! read more

I have never been any where that serves tea on tap! This place is a rare find. So many types of fresh brewed tea and ways to mix them. The employees are very helpful too. If you are in the area stop by - very refreshing on a hot day. read more

I come here almost every day and it never lets me down. Tons of teas to choose from and friendly staff that give tasteful recommendations. With it being close to campus, it's the perfect spot to grab a treat and get homework done. Pro tip: get the honey vanilla tea, mix it with half-and-half milk, and add some sweetener - it's my absolute go-to! read more

An entire wall of tea, from spiced pear to mate to green tea mango? Yes, please. For just stopping in to get a cup of tea, this place can feel a bit pricey, but here's how to make it totally worth it: hot tea service. Ask the friendly people behind the counter which teas can be re-steeped, and then order the hot tea service, which comes in a little individual tea pot. Then sit yourself down at the super comfortable wall of couches, set up your laptop, and settle in. There's a great work vibe, as it's often quiet, especially in the mid-morning. Finish your tea? Raise the teapot lid, and they'll refill the hot water, for free! You can also add a friend to your tea service for a small extra charge, which makes the tea even more affordable. There's a version of this with the iced tea, which they have on tap, or you can order any tea iced. The first refill is something like a dollar, and the next one is free. But the hot tea service is my favorite, even when it's hot outside. There's great A/C inside. Their chocolate mousse pie is heavenly (and huge, though a bit pricey), and they often have soup available as well--though not as consistently in the summer. Music is always good, indy but not so strange it's distracting. The people behind the counter also love let you smell the different teas, so don't be shy about asking to smell the tins or taste the teas on tap. It's a great way to branch out from the teas you know and try something new! read more

I went here because I was close by and needed a hot beverage. This place caters to the young supposedly hip university crowd. There are lots of choices for tea but I really wanted coffee and settled for chai tea because I've had it here before and it was really good. Well it was not good this time... it was not sweet enough and the milk was definitely not steamed to perfection. It sort of ruined my chai experience for the day but it not make me lose faith in chai in general read more

Scented Leaf Tea House - Came here for chai tea before. It's becoming a regular thing when I have a UA field trip. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

My friend and I swung in here after dinner. What a wonderful shop! The guy working the counter was super friendly and explained all their tea's, how they were organized, etc. You can get a pot of tea, or to go cups, or iced tea. And they have tea on tap! You can also buy anything they have in bulk. After smelling a couple of different ones, I settled on the Spiced Pear. It was delicious. Overall, a great experience. If you love tea, I highly recommend visiting this shop. read more

Pumpkin chai for me please! A yummy blend of tea, pumpkin pie spices and almond milk. But there are so, so many more flavors to explore -- including something called Evening in Missoula (?). Just ask the owner to open a canister (or three) and coax the aroma toward your nostrils with a gentle wave of his hand. It was lunch time when I visited, and while they don't have a menu, the homemade chicken and dumpling soup (a family recipe) hit the spot. I love the pillowed seating along one wall and de-caffeinated atmosphere with great music and lots of natural light. read more

There are few good things in Tucson. Between the cacti, ambiguous weather, and subpar frozen yogurt, there's not a lot to live for. The Scented Leaf changes everything. It is a beacon of light in the darkness. It has all the indie vibe with none of the general accompanying smugness. I had half hazelnut vanilla oolong with half chocolate covered strawberry pu-erh (I know, it sounds like chaos but bear *down* with me) and it was divine. Add a splash of dark chocolate almond milk (that didn't cost extra) and you've got a #basic sorority girl's dream. Thank you, Scented Leaf, for renewing my hope in humanity unified by the power of tea. You are an oasis in the desert (literally). read more

This is a sweet little tea house on University and Park. It's also heaven for a visual person--their whole tea selection is pictured on the back wall, organized by caffeine level, and their cheesecakes and brownies look just as good as they taste. Over the last six months (give or take), they've added more savory-type stuff, like chicken pot pie and wraps and salads. But all that aside, the real highlights are the tea and the staff. Everyone working there is super friendly, and the owner makes frequent appearances. Better yet, they're all knowledgeable about tea. Friends and I have gone in several times where we walked up to the counter and realized that we had no idea which teas we wanted. Every time we've gotten great recommendations, and every once in a while, we get some new concoctions when they're feeling particularly creative and when we give them a palette of flavors we're looking for. The only downside is that it's tricky to get a table during the school year since it's so popular and so close to the university. But if you tough out the Tucson summer, it becomes an absolutely divine place to sit for a few hours and get some work done. Realistically, it's a good thing tables are scarce nine months out of the year--it means they've got a shot at staying in business! Better still, especially if you're a grad student with a penchant for the iced teas they have on tap (SUCH a great idea!), you can get a couple of refills throughout the day if you come back with the same cup. First refill is a dollar, second refill is free. read more
