Tasting Notes
A glass of "dewy springtime sunshine," the first sip feels like sunshine beaming through tree leaves and your eyelashes on a warm, sunny day.
Silky, bubbly and bright on the palate, each sip of Magnolia Oolong smells and tastes like creamy magnolia blossom, white flower petals, and fresh spring meadow, lifted by notes of candied melon and crisp pear.
"Some old-fashioned things like fresh air and sunshine are hard to beat."
Serving & Pairings
A few recommendations so you can enjoy your Magnolia Oolong bottlings to their fullest.
Serving & Storage
Best enjoyed in a white wine glass or champagne flute, served chilled or at white wine temperatures.
Tea's subtle aromas and flavors are most vibrant after warming slightly after pouring, so enjoy the blooming of each glass as its personality opens up over time.
For the most vibrant expression of each bottle, please enjoy within 12 months of purchase.
Store in a cool, dark place - your refrigerator is perfect - and, if not already cold, chill before serving.
If you don't enjoy your entire bottle in one sitting, simply seal it with a sparkling bottle stopper, keep refrigerated, and enjoy within a 2-3 days.
Suggested Pairings
A chilled glass of bubbly Magnolia Oolong pairs beautifully with a front porch swing on a warm summer evening, or a with blanket placed on a sunny patch of grass in early the spring with a new book.
Ideal as an aperitif, for toasts, or between courses to reset the palate.
For meals with family and friends, its aromas and flavors dance well with:
- Spring dishes with seasonal veggies like peas, fava beans, and baby carrots
- Summertime salads with fresh peaches, strawberries and goat cheese
- Fluffy almond or pistachio pastries and an assortment of macaroons
