POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

The 2026 release is here - Monday, October 19th 🍾

You can collect the new vintage on the Susurrus Shop page (link in bio)

All thanks to Steep Week ✨ watch the recap!

Hundreds of kilograms of tea leaves, emptied bag by bag.

Two beautiful batches, steeped slow.

The tanks, drained.

Layer upon layer, tasted steep by steep, until Osmanthus Golden Tip and Magnolia Oolong found their final blends.
 And then, the bottling line.
 Thank you for being on this journey with me!

Today’s press check with @mcc.wine is where the dream starts to become a reality ✨

Color, foil, emboss, gloss, each element is reviewed in every light until it is just right.

The 2026 Susurrus label carries a few subtle refinements that have been in the works for quite some time – the kind of details most people won’t consciously notice, but will most definitely feel.

The 2026 bottling is coming soon – I can’t wait for you to see it in person 🍾

⁠
I was asked to share my thoughts on the best tea steepers for the perfect cup in the @buysidewsj recent gift guide, "The Best Tea Steepers for Making the Perfect Cup" – full feature at the link in bio 🫖 ⁠
⁠
These tea pots played such a big part of my journey into tea and even in the development of my Susurrus Sparking Tea bottlings!⁠

I recently sat down with Dan Quiñones from @danquinones_brands on his podcast, The Pioneer's Approach, to talk about building Susurrus from the ground up — the wine world, the tea world, and the magical overlap of everything in between.⁠
⁠
Listen to learn why I call Susurrus "Wine's Sober Sister" 🍾 ⁠
⁠
Thank you for having me on the podcast, Dan!⁠

A milestone that means more than words 🏆⁠
⁠
I am deeply honored to share the three key distinctions awarded to Susurrus by the 2026 Sommeliers Choice Awards:⁠
⁠
🥇"Non Alcoholic Producer Of The Year" ⁠
🥇"Non Alcoholic Of The Year" ⁠ ⁠
🥇"Best Non Alcoholic White" ⁠
⁠
These awards belong to everyone who has supported me in the tedious development journey over the last two years. ⁠
⁠
These awards also belong to everyone who has shared a bottle, raised a glass, and believed that tea also deserves its place at the finest tables, with the finest wines 🥂 ⁠
⁠
Thank you for being part of Susurrus from the very beginning.⁠
⁠
Cheers to you and cheers to TEA! 🍾⁠
⁠
- Ellison 💗 ⁠

Sparkling Teas from Nature, for Nature 🍃 ⁠
⁠
Susurrus celebrates Earth Day every day as a @1percentftp Business Member. This means that each bottle you enjoy supports environmental conservation and habitat preservation 🍾 ⁠
⁠
Tea gardens, like vineyards, thrive when cultivation, agriculture and craft not only harmonize, but encourage biodiversity. ⁠
⁠
Striking that beautiful balance yields not only fabulous benefits for the environment, but better quality teas and wines. ⁠
⁠
The formula goes: better for planetary health = better for human health = better experience in your glass 🥂 ⁠

Did you know the tea plant blooms every autumn??? 🌸

Thank you @redwoodteaestate for allowing me to harvest your tea blossoms ! Sharing them is such a gift 💝

Inside every order you can learn about the Chinese tea inside your bottlings and steep a little bit of tea-blossom tea grown right here in California 🌸

Enjoy popping bottles and happy steepings ! 🍾 🫖

^ the entire word of tea: camellia sinensis 🌱 a perennial tree with its evolutionary home in China 🇨🇳

How crazy is it that tea - in its infinite expressions - comes from the SAME PLANT ?! 🤯

Which I believe is the ultimate testament of terroir, cultivation and craftsmanship.

Like wine, when you enjoy a glass of Susurrus, you are drinking a place and a millennia-old craft 🥂
