This Kombucha, out of Magnolia Oolong tea, was one of the first Oolong Kombuchas that we have made over 5 years ago.
It was delicious and popular back then, and not much has really has changed since then.
The tea for this Kombucha is called Magnolia Blossom Oolong, and it comes from Guangdong Province, in China.
The tea is also known as Orchid Oolong or Yu Lan (in Chinese).
It is a scented Oolong, and in this particular case, as you can guess, magnolia flowers are used to give it an extra flavor.
The Magnolia Oolong Kombucha is one of our Specials.
The tea itself is of a pretty good quality.
This tea makes a great tasting "broth", with different floral notes, and it has a beautiful golden color.
The quality of the tea can be seen from what the leaves look like, after steeping.
And on the plate.
The production process of this Kombucha is no different than of any other of our single tea Kombucha.
We start with filtered and revitalized water. We steep the tea and then we strain it. Next we add the unrefined sugar and our cultures.
When the fermentation period is over, we bottle our Magnolia Oolong Kombucha.
Next, our Kombucha undergoes the second fermentation, in order to build up the natural carbonation.
Once it's ready it has a really nice carbonation, and delicious floral notes.
Ingredients: Filtered and Revitalized Water, Live Kombucha Cultures, Unrefined Brown Sugar, Magnolia Blossom Oolong
