Leaves gathered from the countryside and from parks are likely to be pollution free. Just be cautious with leaves from more urban settings.
Also, check every leaf for signs of pests and/or diseases...only select 'clean' leaves.

Don't see why not...except that it'll make it harder for you to keep track of their progress.

What kind of Magnolia? The evergreen M. grandiflora or for example the deciduous M.soulangeana? Those are just two most common of the many types sold. M.grandiflora is actually a primitive plant..one of the older living fossils..and those leaves when they fall? Become as some call them "plastic". To me they are like those small wooden bowls sold as Hawaiian wood making. I've never needed to make tannin but I would think they would make a long lasting tea and more per leaf then most other plants I can think of.

I think Magnolia leaves are the best..
Thick leaves that take some time decomposing.
