About

The Maker

Bella Kobayashi is the founder and owner of Magnolia Tea House.
In 2018, she moved to the Adelaide Hills with her family and quickly became a cherished member of the local community. After finishing high school, Bella had an idea to create her own loose-leaf tea. With strong connections to her Japanese heritage, her micro-enterprise came to life with the Japanese Magnolia flower at its core.

Bella personally creates each batch of tea, pouring her heart and soul into the process. She is hands-on in every aspect of the business, such as sourcing materials and high-quality ingredients, creating business material, packaging, labelling and maintaining quality control, while building meaningful connections in the Adelaide Hills through selling her tea at local markets and stores.

By purchasing from Magnolia Tea House, you are supporting Bella’s passion for crafting delicious teas, coffees, and sweet treats. Bella dreams of opening her own tea house or small café, and your support helps bring that dream one step closer to reality.
