The Sol Block on Broadway Boulevard’s Sunshine Mile continues to blossom with new businesses this spring. Scented Leaf Tea House and Lounge is opening soon at 2627 E. Broadway Blvd. — right in between Decibel Coffee Works and How Sweet It Was Vintage.
“Get ready to sip, refill, and relax at our brand-new location — with parking in the back for easy access,” the Scented Leaf crew shared.
The tea shop joins other local food and beverage businesses on the block like Rocco’s Little Chicago, The Broadway, and the soon-to-be Quisty’s Sandwiches.
If you’re looking for a new gig, they’re currently hiring, encouraging folks to apply online.
“If you’re passionate about tea and great vibes, apply ASAP.”
The idea to create a modern tea house in Tucson came to Scented Leaf owners and University of Arizona Alumni Shane and Adrienne Barela years ago during their honeymoon in Spain. While there, they discovered loose-leaf tea in a little shop outside a cathedral in Granada.
After learning more about the health benefits and delicious flavor of tea leaves vs. conventional bagged tea, they knew it was something they had to share back home.
A little less than a year ago, Scented Leaf debuted its third location. Fast forward to today, and they’re on the cusp of opening their fourth.
Stay tuned for a grand opening date.
Scented Leaf is located at 308 E. Congress St. and 943 E. University Blvd. #165, 6610 E. Tanque Verde Rd., and soon at For more information, visit thescentedleaf.com.
