This is the Magnolia Milk Tea ($8.80; no ice, 70%) from SoTea, featuring a magnolia green tea base.

The beverage presented with an opaque off-white appearance, uniform throughout. Aroma was led by soft magnolia florals, with a light underlying tea note.

On tasting, the initial contact delivered immediate floral notes with a moderate sweetness. The magnolia was clearly expressed without sharpness. Through the mid-palate, the floral profile developed further, showing a slightly spiced character when compared to Molly Tea, though not to an overt level. The green tea base contributed lightly roasted notes, which rounded the sweetness and supported a more structured profile. Sweetness appeared more pronounced than comparable versions from Molly Tea, while maintaining balance. Towards the finish, the tea and floral notes tapered cleanly, with no detectable astringency or bitterness. The aftertaste carried a soft magnolia presence with a gentle residual sweetness. Mouthfeel was smooth with moderate body, maintaining balance without reading as either thin or heavy.

Overall, a floral milk tea with slightly spiced magnolia character, higher sweetness than Molly Tea, and a smooth, well-balanced body.

This Magnolia Milk Tea was purchased from SoTea in Sydney, Australia in April 2026.
