In a world that moves too fast, Magnolia & Soul offers a gentle rebellion, an invitation to slow down, breathe deeply, and savour small moments that feel sacred.
Founded by Auckland-based Isabella Suruthi Ratnarajah, an emerging naturopath and storyteller at heart, Magnolia & Soul is more than tea. It’s a ritual of softness: a way to transform the simple act of sipping into something rare and restorative.
Drawing inspiration from her Sri Lankan roots, the quiet romance of small-town life, and a deep yearning for feminine ease, Isabella dreamed up Magnolia & Soul as a response to the modern rush.
Each tea ritual kit is designed as an offering, blending loose-leaf tea with oracle cards, crystals, and poetic prompts that help women create their own daily pockets of peace.
“Winter invites us inward; to soften, to rest, to listen. I created Magnolia & Soul so women could mark this season with small, intentional rituals. A cup of tea becomes more than a drink; it becomes a talisman for quiet comfort and presence.”
This winter, Magnolia & Soul invites women to “winter well” – to lean into the season’s natural slowness and create little moments that feel like coming home.
Featured blends:
Moonlight Chai – A dark, spiced blend for deep reflection and protection; a tea that holds you through winter’s hush.
Evening Melody – A floral, soothing blend for unwinding at day’s end; a gentle hymn to tenderness and rest. Each kit is carefully crafted, ready to become part of your own winter sanctuary.
Whether curled up with a book, journaling by candlelight, or simply watching the steam rise from your mug, these tea rituals are made to nourish both body and spirit.
Available at @magnoliaandsoul and Enamoured Books, Magnolia & Soul is for those who wish to “winter well”, embracing the season’s natural stillness with small rituals that warm.
