Taste: Magnolia, Mint, Creamy

Magnolia-scented green tea once had its place in southern China, but the craft quietly disappeared in the Qing dynasty, eclipsed by the rise of jasmine. For years, it was a name without a method. When we first tried to bring it back, even seasoned tea makers said, “No one does that anymore.” But we kept going… Experimenting with fresh magnolia flowers, and working alongside jasmine tea artisans to relearn the forgotten steps. It took many quiet rounds of testing. We’re glad it’s back.
