additional notes: Old tea bag alert. I think I found a couple bags of this YEARS ago in a teabox. Numi is usually my favorite teabag company! As far as I can remember. This isn’t bad. Though I think I just realized today that this is ripe puerh WITH magnolia flavored green tea. Then I was trying quite hard to taste any green tea, but I don’t think I could…. unless its inclusion is only making the puerh weaker. Or maybe it’s hojicha. But I don’t think it’s very weak for a teabag with a smallish amount of leaves. I don’t think it was worth it to add “magnolia” green, as I can’t really taste magnolia either. Checking my 10 year old note, I didn’t notice magnolia then either. A straight puerh here would have been fine. The second steep was weak but I probably let the first steep go a little long. Again… I like Numi! Nice to revisit this one. Now if only they would make their vanilla black again.

Well, there is an oolong with magnolia scent: https://dobrateapgh.com/products/magnolia-mao-jian
And Dobra Tea is a good brand.
oh, I’m seeing now that the note before mine in the dashboard is a well loved Numi tea…
I feel like magnolia would be an interesting flavor in a tea! Too bad they didn’t make it work.

Eh, sorry… green tea, not oolong :)
I have a Magnolia oolong from Maya Tea, but even when it was fresh I didn’t think it tasted like magnolia…
