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 🥂 ⁠ ⁠ 📷: Emma Kruch / @emmakcreative ⁠⁠ ⁠ #1PercentFTP #Susurrus #SparklingTea #EarthDay

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 ! 🍾 🫖 #redwoodteaestate #susurrus #sparklingtea #blossom

^ 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 🥂 #tea #terroir #susurrus #tastingnotes

That time @ellyb35 & I had an absolute love affair with magnolia season // shot + styled (with much joy) for @susurrusteas ’ Magnolia Oolong Sparkling Tea

The fizz, the clink, and the details in between 🍾🥂✨ A look behind the scenes of our latest Susurrus video shoot with @bylavoie of @grndwrk.studio 🎥 Thank you, Brandon, for so thoughtfully capturing the essence of the Sparkling Teas — light, texture, and all. We can’t wait to share what we captured with you soon! #susurrus #sparklingtea #videoshoot

A heartfelt thank you to the @cadetnapa team for hosting such a beautiful evening of sipping and gathering. ✨⁠ ⁠ Susurrus was honored to be poured with such care and transformed into the stunning Golden Lily Spritz, a cocktail that allowed Magnolia Oolong and Osmanthus Golden Tip to softly shine.⁠ ⁠ ⁠Seeing both single-origin teas take on new life in such thoughtful hands, surrounded by good people and easy conversation, is exactly why Susurrus was created.⁠ ⁠ Deep gratitude for the warm welcome and to everyone who joined. 💛⁠ ⁠ 📷 Emma Kruch | @emmakcreative ⁠

A wise friend once said, “Whenever you can’t choose, you don’t have to” 😆 In other words, enjoy both! That’s the beauty of adding Susurrus Sparkling Tea to any celebration - there’s no sacrifice with your choices. You can enjoy a sober evening full of celebratory, antioxidant-rich, intriguing single-origin teas…or moderate your enjoyment of cocktails or wine with wine’s “sober sister,” tea! 🍾🍷🥃🥂 win-win! However you choose to ring in 2026, have a fabulously festive time - Happy New Year! 🥳 📸 by @emmakcreative

N E W W O R K // Small but mighty for @susurrusteas , filmed back in October, during peak bloom in the tea fields (field*) of California’s Central Valley. My first job with @grndwrk.studio and my first time running my set of Leica R’s. The 60mm Macro may be my new favorite lens, especially on wides. A huge thank you to @ellyb35 for the trust! Excited to be along for the ride 🍾 dir / dp 👊 edit @bdarragh_ prod co @grndwrk.studio

Few people know that the tea plant blooms in autumn. Bees absolutely adore the trace amounts of caffeine in the pollen, and it sends them on pollinating frenzies. ⁠ ⁠ This short film by @grndwrk.studio and @bylavoie was captured during October's blooming tea fields so that you can enjoy the true definition of "susurrus" on the eve of the inaugural launch. ⁠ ⁠ /soo-SUR-us/ (n.) a soft whispering, rustling, or murmuring;⁠ the ambient sounds of Nature and the quiet hum of conversation.⁠ ⁠ Check your inboxes at 9:00 am PT for the release of the inaugural Susurrus Sparkling Teas, and if you aren't already on the mailing list, sign up via the link in bio. ⁠

Over the moon to finally be sharing a sparkly new client project with you all! I’ve been quietly working with the magical @ellyb35 for months, as she launches @susurrusteas — an organic single-origin sparkling tea brand. /soo-SUR-us/ (n.) a soft whispering, rustling or murmuring; the ambient sounds of nature and the quiet hum of conversation. Some of my personal ideal examples of “Susurrus” are: wind rushing through trees, pages turning in a quiet library, a gently babbling brook, the fluttering of a hummingbird’s wings, and the rustling of fall leaves. The knots in my shoulders literally loosened as I typed those things out tbh. In short, this is the creative collaboration of my dreams. I get to play in nature with my talented friend, document flora and fauna for hours on end, and the creative director (and artist) in me has never felt more fulfilled. Brand storytelling is such a huge part of what sets my work apart from the pack, and I’m forever grateful for the opportunity and trust when I get to flex those muscles! SO so much more to come. Follow along at @susurrusteas as Ellison moves closer to her first sparkling tea release next month! Now that the word’s out (and her gorgeous website by @offsetbrandstudio is live!) I’ll be sharing more updates here as well.
