That is a kind of magnolia flower which we call “bak lan”. They come from trees which can be very, very tall. Very fragrant sweet smell in summer when they open. A very small percentage of this flower is mixed with jasmine flower for scenting jasmine tea except for very expensive or very cheap jasmine tea. Very expensive jasmine tea use only jasmine flower. Very cheap jasmine tea has no scenting, just added with dried jasmine flower which has been used for scenting other tea.
