Scented Leaf Tea House - Fruity Thai - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

I remember the good old days when I used to frequent The Scented Leaf's only location on University Ave. I'm so happy knowing they have other locations around Tucson now! Though I no longer live here, they are one of my favorite places to visit when I'm back in town. Their cactus candy tea is my favorite, though I've never ordered a drink from them that I didn't like. They also have a great refill system. You can return back on the same day and get a second refill for $2-$3 and a third refill for free, such a great value! They also sell a variety of loose leaf teas to take home if you want something at home to remember them by like I do. Thanks to everyone at The Scented Leaf for making every visit an amazing one! read more

Scented Leaf Tea House is a tea lover's dream. The selection can feel overwhelming at first--they even have tea on tap--but the staff was incredibly helpful and guided me to the perfect drink. They offer a great mix of hot and cold beverages, so there's something for every mood and season. Add in the outdoor seating on nice days, and it's an easy place to relax, sip, and stay awhile. A must-stop for anyone who appreciates a good cup of tea and great vibes. read more

Scented Leaf Tea House - Black Rose - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

This is such a cool concept for a business. A tea bar with teas 'on draft.' You can also get refills on drinks on the day of purchase; the first is $1.50 and then the second is free. It can be mix and match, too. Apparently, the refill teas have to come from the teas on draft. So, if you want something hot you need to start with it as your 'full priced tea.' I got a Darjeeling with maple and some whole milk, medium sweetness. Very good! My mom got a black cherry chai mix with whole milk, medium sweetness. She found that a bit too sweet for her--I was fine because I love sugar! For my second drink, I got the nitro match medium sweetness. I don't exactly know what their default sweetener is...I was told you could get honey or other things, too. The nitro drinks are a bit of an upcharge but totally worth it, in my opinion. For my final drink I got some sort of mango lemonade thing. This didn't really taste like tea tea, if that makes any sense. It was also delicious! Anyway, three drinks for about $8 so not too shabby! The staff were also very helpful and patient. I can't make up my mind to save my life on a good day, and there are wayyyyyyy too many options here! read more

Two important updates! (1) It was inevitable but prices (on refills) increased a bit (now an even 50% of whatever size you originally got). (2) all downtown and campus parking meters have newly expanded hours - now requiring payment until 7pm (no longer ending at 5pm) AND now including Saturdays (so only Sundays remain free). See signage pic I added. Obviously not Scented's doing but beware! Ps, for the hour or so that I was lunching/working here none of the baristas ventured to clean any of the frequently rotating tables despite boku gaps in customers at the register. I quietly wiped some dried spills off of mine :-/ read more

I was kind of disappointed that my latte didn't look like the drink on the sign that was being advertised with whip cream and all.

Wish tables were a little cleaner they were a tad sticky. read more

If you like tea, you will enjoy this place. They have a good variety of different teas which varying levels of caffeine. You can order your tea cold or hot and adjust your sugar level. I wanted a decaf tea so I got the iced Raspberry Rose tea mixed with Prickly Pear tea with just a little agave sweetener. Very refreshing and delicious without being too sweet. My husband enjoyed his hot chai latte tea. Since this was our first visit to this place, the server behind the counter was very helpful and patient with us as we took some time to decide. Vibrant and bright atmosphere. read more

The drinks are so good, the hippy lemonade and iced London Fog are phenomenal, it's a shame the service is always--questionable. This last visit was the most pitiful. Not a greeting from any of the four workers behind the counter dutifully discussing their weekend. The drinks were left on the counter & never called out. Outside of taking the orders, no acknowledgment whatsoever. Fully noted, it probably was *our* fault for interrupting them at work. read more

Loved the shop the smells were amazing and beautiful. We all ordered the Lavender Lady and it was refreshing and looked beautiful. The flavors were very mild but that might have been due to the fact that we all wanted lightly sweetened. But what a beautiful serene shop downtown. read more

Response to Owner (Google): I have increased my rating in consideration for all of my positive experiences here, the product, and service. But im disappointed with the muted response to the environmental and energy concern. Also, neither your adjacent/connected neighboring businesses nor many of the other food/beverage locations in downtown feel the need to do the same for the express purpose of attracting new customers. Original Review: Im normally a huge fan of the Scented Leaf. But i think its irresponsible for multiple reasons, for places that have AC to leave their door open. Besides the environmental and energy concern, I came here hoping to relax but there were flies, and one very noticeable mosquito that bit me in the arm which went numb. Every time ive gone to the University or Tanque Verde location they had their doors closed so this feels like a strange choice here. read more

I went down to Tucson with friends to the ASU/UA game and they took me here to Scented Leaf Tea House. This is a nice tea shop in the downtown area across the street from Hotel Congress. There is so much tea here! All of their tea is in loose form and finely chopped. I got myself a London Fog - one of my favorite teas. This is a great find and we had a nice time here before the game. Check out the beautiful mural on the wall. read more

I was introduced to this place due to a Yelp Elite event and fell in love! I'm a big tea drinker and this is the best tea I've ever had. The tea is on tap and you can adjust how sweet you want it. I absolutely love the cold brew packs and I think they're a great deal. It was 3 for $15 and each one makes 64 oz. I'm pretty sure the drink we got was called the fruit bomb, it had lemonade in it and it was so refreshing and delicious. read more

Wow. This bright, airy space smells fragrant and is so inviting. The perfect place for a quick work or committee meeting. There are plenty of tables and chairs if you want to pull out your laptop and get a little work done. Now that we've set the scene let's move onto the main event: the tea. With so many teas on tap you'll be sure to find one you love. I had the Prickly Pear and the Honey Vanilla. Both amazing! A neat thing they do is color code their teas from highly caffeinated (black) to least caffeinated (pink). Pro-tip: First tea is full price, refill is $1, 2nd refill is FREE! That cycle repeats if you get a 4th cup. Pro-Pro-Tip: Get the edible glitter to fancy up your drink. read more

Scented leaf will forever have delicious tea drinks. But man, the service at this particular location is dismal. I contemplate going out of my way to the Tanque Verde location on my way to work just to avoid this location's customer service. There's one young lady who has "helped" me on a few occasions and wow what an actual horrible attitude. Last time, I didn't receive what I ordered, I asked where it was, and she replied that she misheard and charged me for a muffin, yet I never even received a muffin either. LOL!! Another cashier spoke to one of their friends for a solid 5 minutes while I waited in line. Do yourself a favor and go to another location. read more

I am normally a coffee person, so this was definitely out of my comfort zone. When you walk in the whole wall is covered in different tea options, and I was a bit overwhelmed.

"Found" this place via a Yelp event. After sampling those goodies I returned to get more! I had specifically requested a low/non-caff tea with full flavors and was promptly recommended the hibiscus lemon drop and the raspberry lemon drop -- both were outstanding. We use these to gulp with dinner and/or to combine with cocktails, hence the decaf preferences. One thing neither of us realized is that each packet (see pic) makes four (4) concentrated cups of tea. That is, once you're done brewing, you need to subsequently dilute it 2:1 when serving. Odd at first blush but awesome once we absorbed its advantages (brewing flask and storage mainly)! We didn't know that at first and had a glass of the concentrated version... super fruity and a little too sweet, aka flavor-bomb! Now that we know, the $6 brewing packets (which actually make 8 cups) are quite reasonable. The staff (different both times) were incredibly friendly and helpful in guiding us through the menu of 30+ tea options. Our fav (the hibiscus) was out but they assembled some packages while we waited. FYI, the price/pack is slightly discounted if you buy 3 at once (mix/match ok)! read more

Very attentive to my comments and based on them, made recommendations on which teas might be best suited as I begin my exploration into the world of teas. While there I tried one of their gong-fu tea services along with a small plate of nuts and dried fruit to go along with my teas. The experience and ambiance was wonderful! I will definitely share this experience with friends that come into town for visits! I purchased a tea tray and a pouch of tea for use at home with a tea service set that I'd already purchased from a different vendor. The pictures show their tea tray with my new tea service. They also fulfill website orders extremely fast! read more

I decided to stop by this place again on Saturday to get some work done. The first time I came I enjoyed 'The BURST' but this time I got the rockin' mango and the mango sunrise. The rockin mango is made up of green tea mango, moroccan mint and freshly squeezed lemon! The mango sunrise is made up of green tea mango, papaya passion and strawberry lemonade but Chey suggested to get it topped off with hibiscus. Excellent choice! I love that you can pick your desired level of sweetness in your beverage. I also thought it was pretty cool that my first refill was at a discounted price and my second refill was free! I don't know if that applies to all size beverages but I got a large. I love the ambiance and the relaxing music. Chey and Maren are such beautiful ladies with positive attitudes and I'm gonna make it my mission to try the entire menu. read more

You can also buy pouches to take home to brew your own tea. I like being able to try something new each time I visit! read more

First and last time. Sorry not a fan and I love tea! Ordered a silver white tea and she made it wrong. After letting it cool off so I can actually taste it, it was bitter. White tea should be light and delicate to taste, not this one. Also ordered a slice of their red velvet wrapped in plastic wrap, should have been a sign to stay clear. It was dry and any moisture it had evaporated from it. The hub commented that it may have been in the fridge for a while... On a positive note, the lounge looked clean. We ended up playing cards to pass time. Nice quiet place to chit chat. read more

If you find yourself downtown, I recommend making a stop here for tea. They have so many options to choose from and if the choices are too overwhelming, their tearistas are incredible and will happily help make something to fit your taste. The shop has limited seating, so we normally stop here before taking a walk downtown or after hiking Tumamoc. I ordered the "taste the rainbow" drink last time and was instantly in love; not only was it beautiful but it tasted fantastic. For a fun twist, they can add edible glitter to any beverage (for those of you who want to add an extra sparkle to your Instagram worthy drink). This is such a great local spot! read more

The Scented Leaf is one of the most unique businesses in town. Their tea offerings are so diverse and extensive- whether you love a hot cup of tea or iced. Their tea on tap concept is awesome. You can mix different flavors to create your own beverage or order off their very creative menu. I can't believe I hadn't written a review yet. I'd been in several times over the years but took a break during the pandemic. You might not think you are a tea drinker...but this place will totally change your perspective. The flavors are amazing! If you have a hard time making decisions, the staff will guide you in the right direction. I appreciate that you can choose your desired level of sweetness. I don't love sugar, so opting for the lowest is perfect for me. You can choose low, medium or high. This location is also nice for remote working. It's cozy but has a nice vibe. If you don't drink tea, they do also offer coffee....but give the tea a try! read more

Love drinking tea, but I need strong tea flavors without sweeteners added. This place has it. The cold teas on tap are wonderful. The staff allow you to taste the different flavors and you can combine whatever you want.

If you like tea, a nice cozy spot to study or read, or just need to stretch outside of the house during the quarantine... this place is it! I loved going to Scented Leaf pre-coronavirus and in-between classes and am glad they're still up and operating! They have hot/cold teas depending on your liking and a wiiiiide variety of teas to choose from. Some even on tap! My go-to is the favorite "Fruit Gusher" iced tea with low sweet. You can choose how sweet you prefer yours (zero, low, medium, high). They have a board that lists some tea combinations that are being featured. I just tried the "Lemonade Zinger" and it's really good too! I know I can never go wrong with any of their combos. You can also make your own by asking; they'll give you a try. Their staff is always so friendly and helpful. I love it. PS. This downtown location is my favorite as it's a lot less crowded than the university one. Plus, the seats and setup is much cozier. read more

I've been here 4 times this week since rediscovering it. The atmosphere is unbeatable. Great music. Lots of plants. Very clean. Couldn't ask for more in that area. The tea combinations they have are out of this world good. My favorite would have to be the monsoon gusher with no lemonade, add lemon, and 2 packets of stevia. My gosh I could drink this everyday. Young grasshopper is a great coffee drink if that's your preference. Tried their hot maté pot today. Wow. Great flavor. Very earthy. The energy it gives you is so clean and vibrant. Staff has been exceptional. They're all so friendly and knowledgeable on the various teas. What an amazing experience coming here. So glad I rediscovered it after a few years. read more
