For the Most Discerning Palate in the Room.
Magnolia Kombucha is the rarest, most nuanced expression in WiskTea Recipe's Botanical Series — a brew that reveals itself slowly, layers at a time, to those with the patience and palate to appreciate it.
Magnolia flower is not a common ingredient in the world of beverages. Unlike jasmine or lavender — botanicals whose flavour profiles are widely known and immediately recognisable — magnolia occupies a more rarefied space. Its character is soft, slightly spiced, and gently floral, with a complexity that draws comparisons to yuzu and white pepper in its most contemplative moments. It is a flavour that does not announce itself. It is discovered.
Paired with premium green tea, the magnolia's subtle character finds its ideal foundation. Green tea's clean, grassy freshness does not compete — it provides the clarity that magnolia needs to express its full complexity without distraction. The kombucha fermentation adds a delicate effervescence and the gentlest trace of tartness, lifting the whole brew into something that feels simultaneously light and deeply considered.
This is the bottle for those who have tried everything else in the range and are ready for something truly their own.

For those who find beauty in what others overlook.
- The rarest botanical in the range — magnolia is one of the most uncommon flavour ingredients in the craft beverage world; this is not a profile you will find anywhere else in Singapore's kombucha market
- Complexity that reveals itself gradually — soft floral, gently spiced, with nuances of yuzu and white pepper that surface only to those paying attention; a drink that rewards the curious
- Green tea as the purest canvas — clean and unobtrusive, the green tea base provides the clarity magnolia needs to express its full, subtle complexity
- A quiet luxury experience — there is nothing loud or immediate about Magnolia; it is a kombucha for unhurried moments and deliberate sipping
- The connoisseur's choice — if you have explored the WiskTea Recipe range and want its most nuanced, most sophisticated expression, this is that bottle
- Clean label, zero shortcuts — no preservatives, no artificial sweeteners, no synthetic additives of any kind
- Naturally fizzy — live SCOBY fermentation produces real carbonation, not added CO₂
Best served well-chilled. Refrigerate before serving and pour gently into a small, elegant glass — the kind that suits something rare and considered. Magnolia Kombucha is a drink for stillness. Pour it, pause, and let the fragrance arrive before the first sip. Drink it slowly. This is not a bottle to finish quickly.
Before opening: Gently invert the bottle once to redistribute any settled culture. Do not shake — natural carbonation builds pressure and shaking may cause overflow. Open slowly, releasing pressure gradually before pouring.
Suggested pairings:
- Japanese cuisine — the delicate, nuanced character of Magnolia resonates naturally with the precision and restraint of Japanese food; pair with omakase, sushi, or light kaiseki dishes
- Yuzu-based desserts — the yuzu-like nuance in magnolia makes this pairing feel deliberate and deeply considered
- White chocolate — magnolia's soft floral sweetness and white chocolate's creaminess are a quietly extraordinary combination
- Quiet moments alone — Magnolia is perhaps the single most contemplative bottle in the WiskTea Recipe range; it is best enjoyed in silence, without distraction
Serving occasions: Quiet luxury moments, fine dining, connoisseur gifting, contemplative sipping, floral pairing exploration
Storage: Keep refrigerated at 4–7°C at all times. Consume within 7 days of opening. Keeps for up to 6 months when stored chilled.
