    As a student I love this place for a refreshing drink and a sweet place to sit and relax. It’s always very busy but worth the wait for a cloud tea, London fog, or chai tea.

    The staff are super nice. They are so helpful and answer all questions patiently. Nice atmosphere. I've loved every single tea I've tried so far.

    It's always a treat to stop by Scented Leaf. I love the wide variety of tea they have on offer, both hot steeped, and cold brew on tap. I can always find a taste to satisfy my palette.

    Super amazing service everyone is so friendly! They do Wednesday fun nights every month! The refills are a major plus (and a pick me up!) they have fun flavors and are always available to answer any questions you have. The drinks are so yummy I go at least 3x a week. The vibes are so awesome with the green velvet chairs and plants and various vistas on the tv! The music is always banging for studying and just hanging out. Definitely a must go when you’re visiting and if you live here how haven’t you visited it already! :)

    I can't say enough lovely things about Scented Leaf! I tried 4 of their iced teas because I couldn't get enough and they were all delicious and so well-steeped. The interior and exterior seating areas are both great for working/studying. Lots of outlets, good internet, and reasonable music volume. Employees were friendly and excited to help me figure out what to order. Go! You won't regret it.

    This is my absolute favorite place on University. The interior is beautiful, the atmosphere is cozy, service is great, and the teas are delicious. I love stopping by to just get a tea and go, but staying in to study is also one of the best things to do here. It's so easy to focus on my work with a nice cup of tea and forget about the world in this shop. I've made it a goal to try a new tea every day, but my personal favorites so far are the House Black and Raspberry Rose. Just don't get carried away and drink too much! This is probably the only place where I've liked the drinks so much that I made myself sick by having too many 😅. The refill system is too good to resist. The first is paid (at a lower price than the original drink), and the second refill is free. So you can have three drinks for what I'm pretty sure would be just one at a different shop. I visited so many times at this point that I actually ended up buying a reusable cup for yet another discount. My only complaint is that the snack options aren't very good, but for their drink quality and the wonderful attitude the baristas have, it's not a big issue for me. If I'm staying, it's to study, and I've usually already eaten at one of the dozens of places nearby since it's in a really good area. If you're in the area or starting school, make sure to stop by here, you won't regret it.

    An actual tea house! Great, inclusive and welcoming vibe. Teas on tap! What an amazing concept! A truly inviting oasis in this Sonoran landscape!

    Absolutely best tea house! They serve not only teas but pastries, deserts, coffee and some alcoholic beverages. Can sit inside and do work, the ambiance is always lovely. They have music playing and sometimes show movies or games playing on background tvs. Always very clean and the teas are phenomenal. They also have a rewards system which encourages even more purchases. The service is super quick and the staff is super nice!

    Cozy spot to have top quality tea by the university - the seatings are quite hipster! Wifi speed is pretty strong for Zoom needs. Five stars!

    Great place to hang out or study that I return to frequently. Comfy chairs, lots of charger outlets, and outdoor seating options. Between on tap and what they will steep for you, there’s about 50 options for tea. The drinks aren’t cheap, but the first refill is only $1-2 depending on size and the second is free so I’m not really complaining. Two notes: 1. It gets PACKED, so go early while undergrads are still asleep if you want a quieter experience. However, the workers get through the lines efficiently so even if you can’t find seating, you won’t wait in line long. 2) My only really complaint is the music can be on the loud side depending on the day (maybe who is working?). If you want to study, maybe bring some earbuds.

    Best tea on campus! You can't go wrong with any of the special teas or pastries! Staff were friendly and very inviting atmosphere. Great place to meet up with friends or study!

    Love the tea here and that you can get refills. You pay for the first refill, second is free. A bunch of iced teas on taps and even more teas made to order. Loads of incentive drinks that change with the seasons too. Hard to find a place to sit at this location though as it's always full of students.

  • 3/5 Kevin X. 1 year ago on Google
    I really like the concept and vast variety of iced tea drinks from across the globe. I did find some of the matcha drinks to be on the watery/dilute side (can also say the same about the Yerba mate; it was a struggle to taste the flavors. The iced mate on tap was not reminiscent of terere), and I wonder if quality was compromised by the tea house’s focus on breadth. Nonetheless, the drinks hit the spot and was a quenching addition to a hot day in Tucson

    Best tea shop in town, hands down! Half-priced refill and then one free-fill after that for tap teas. Great study environment! They have a few board games too if you're looking to hang out with friends and casually play while you sip. Almost everything I've tried has been good. A little out of my way, but I make a trip over there some weekends each month.

    Omg I’m so happy I found this place! The tea is absolutely delicious! I tried two different ones and I had to go back (the same day) and I got one of their Fall specials SO YUMMY! I don’t live in Tucson was just there for work from NYC but I can’t wait to go back just to visit here lol

  • 3/5 Silly_Me 8 months ago on Google
    My daughter's tea tasted wonderful. Mine not so much since I am not a fan of iced coffee and decided to try it mixed with tea. I will be back to try something different. The only reason I am giving a 3 star review instead of 5 revolves around customer service. There was absolutely no reason to take 5 other customers ahead of me while I was trying to get the cashiers attention and a little bit of help finding something to order since I couldn't see the menu due to having low vision. Hopefully, when I return, there's someone else working willing to help a little more instead of just passing me up and hurrying me along.

    We went to the University location, it was loud , busy and no sitting space. They forgot our order and had to wait an additional 30 minutes to get my tea.. it was worth it. Won't be going back . I like to sit and savor my hot tea ... not a relaxing atmosphere at all.

  • 5/5 Barbara T. 8 months ago on Google
    I'm a self proclaimed tea snob and I absolutely love The Scented Leaf. Their tea is high quality, delicious and there are so many varieties. Their Earl Grey Creme is my favorite. If their tea isn't enough to earn a top rating, their service absolutely is. All their staff are so genuinely friendly and helpful (at both locations) and it's hard not to stop have a full conversation with them. When I had a preference issue with a tea I had ordered, I received a personal response less than 30 minutes after reaching out to them and Kieri went far beyond expectations to make it right (which again was only my preference and not allowing they did wrong). I'll stay a faithful customer as long as I can!

    This is the best tea place around. The tea makers are all really friendly, and they upgrade the atmosphere ever since I've been going there. I love this tea house. Thanks for the great service

  • 5/5 Patrick G. 1 year ago on Google
    Super charming and slick tea house. Staggering selection of tea, including a lot of iced tea on tap. Bakery is great too, the chocolate croissant was incredible.

  • 5/5 Steven Z. 10 months ago on Google
    Great place to hang out and study, it has definitely become my new Coffee shop. One complaint, for starters I love the open door which makes it nice to just walk in but it lets all the flies in and it’s super annoying being covered in flies sometimes. Like a fan at the door to keep them out or something would be perfect and it would probably help keeping the heat out too.

  • 5/5 Michaela B. 1 year ago on Google
    Whenever I go to Tuscon I always make sure to visit scented leaf; I’m sad they don’t have any stores in the Phoenix area! I would recommend drinks but I pick out a different iced tea each time and am happy with all of them. This time around I had the fruity Thai and the butter beer (iced); both sweet and refreshing. They have non dairy options too!

  • 5/5 Oracle of A. 2 years ago on Google
    Atmosphere, taste, location,service, functionality, price, the Scented Leaf Tea house HAS IT ALL! If you're not blown away by the amount of tea you would have to drink to try everything on the menu, maybe the chill but friendly ambience of their velvet green and wood toned seating, their live portrait TV's or Taylor(the swift handed "bar keep") and his newest creations will! They have hot, cold, tea, coffee, drinks on drinks on drinks! And you can get re-fills, don't worry they have bathrooms. I could honestly spend all day in this tea house!!

  • 5/5 Raphaelle G. 1 year ago on Google
    Probably one of my favorite places down University. Great place to go to when you're studying. I always get their monthly drinks at medium sweetness!! It tends to always be packed mid-day, but once you get a chair and you're studying, nothing beats it. They always have something playing in the background.

  • 5/5 Roswell S. 1 year ago on Google
    I've never been in person but I order from them ever 2 months. Almost every time they've given me a little surprise in my package. The tea is delicious. Not everything is my cup of tea but I have a few blends I need to have in stock. Their House Black is AMAZING. They deserve all the stars.

  • 5/5 Sarina W. 1 year ago on Google
    A lot of teas to choose from! I'm in love with the layered ones with the sparkles. Reasonably priced and great refill policy. Being so close to the u of a this is also a great study or work spot (refill policy + plenty of seating + open late). Last week I tried two layered ones (tea of the month + a custom fruity papaya/strawberry lemonade/raspberry tea) and both were great and so fun!

  • 5/5 Hadley B. 1 year ago on Google
    Super quick service, tons of options for all kinds of taste pallets. Very friendly service and nice area to study/hang out with your tea. Buy a drink, come back later for a refill for $1, and then a third refill for free. LOVE

    I love coming here on my study days or even stopping by. Costumer service is always the best. I almost always end up ordering with the same man, so sorry I don’t know his name but he is such a vibe always has a smile. I asked for a sangria gusher and sadly they didn’t have anymore sangria but he said he will be able to whip me up something similar and it was sooo good the drink was a 9/10 wish there was names to it so i can oder it again! Love this place so much.
