This Guangdong specialty is a lovely Oolong tea, scented with magnolia flowers. Alternately known as Orchid Oolong or in Chinese Yu Lan, this selection is a must try for those who appreciate a fine scented tea. The flavor nuances are unique, but hints of jasmine lend a recognizable character.

That's the only way I can describe this tea. I drink this all summer. It has all the delicious qualities of a Jasmine, but without that "bubble gum" taste I find even the expensive pearls have. If you like scented teas and have the same 'complaint' about Jasmines, give this one a try!

A delicate oolong with the refreshing taste of magnolia and jasmine. The smell of the magnolia blossoms takes you to the south on a hot summer day. A must try for the eccentric tea connoisseur.
