Born from a spirit of listening
/soo-SUR-us/ (n.) a soft whispering, rustling or murmuring; the ambient sounds of Nature and the quiet hum of conversation.
Susurrus Sparkling Teas was born from this spirit of listening. Each bottle is a celebration of Nature. Each sip is a moment of calm, clarity, and connection — a gentle invitation to slow down and to listen.
Listen to the myriad sounds of Nature. Listen to the sparkle of bubbles in your glass. Listen to the conversations that unfold while sharing a bottle with others.
Tea shaped by its terroir, season, and skillful human craft
For centuries, tea has been at the heart of community and culture — poured at tables to accompany meals, enliven conversation, and enrich time spent together.
Like wine, tea is deeply tied to its origin. Its wide range of flavors and aromas, from floral and fruity to earthy and mineral, are shaped by its terroir, season, and human craftsmanship. Each steep reveals subtle nuances.
Preservation begins with appreciation
As a 1% For The Planet Business Member, Susurrus is also founded on the ethos that preservation begins with appreciation. Tea being one of our most ancient agricultural gifts, reminds us to cherish both Nature and each other.
