Susurrus 'Magnolia Oolong' Sparkling Tea, Fujian, China 2025
soo-SUR-us/ - (n.) a soft whispering, rustling or murmuring; the ambient sounds of Nature and the quiet hum of conversation
Susurrus Sparkling Teas are non-alcoholic bottlings of organic, single-origin teas, conceived to showcase terroir, purity, and nuance in the same spirit that fine wine does. The name — pronounced soo-SUR-us — means a soft whispering, rustling, or murmuring: the ambient sounds of nature and the quiet hum of conversation. The Magnolia Oolong honors the ancient Chinese tradition of flower-scented teas, pairing a Special Grade first-flush Jinxuan oolong from Fujian with magnolia blossoms from Guangxi, naturally scented at peak bloom in May 2025.
- Producer: Susurrus Sparkling Teas (Sonoma County, California)
- Harvesting: Hand-harvested, May 2025. Special Grade, first flush. Tea garden elevation: 1,000 meters.
- Cultivar: Jinxuan Oolong ("Golden Lily"), Fujian, China
- Terroir: Tea gardens of Fujian province, China, at 1,000 meters elevation. Fujian is one of China's most storied tea-growing regions, known for producing oolongs of exceptional floral complexity and silky texture.
- Scenting: Naturally scented with fresh magnolia blossoms sourced from Guangxi province, China. Scenting performed in May 2025 at intensive duration — a traditional method in which tea leaves absorb the living fragrance of the flowers during their peak bloom before the blossoms are removed.
- Production: Organic; inherently non-alcoholic. Sparkling.
- Tasting Notes: Radiantly silky, with creamy magnolia florals dancing alongside bright notes of candied melon, papaya, and crisp pear. Dewy and light, with a luminous finish.
- Pairings: Delicate spring rolls, lychee-dressed salads, soft cheeses, fruit tarts, macarons, and dim sum. An elegant aperitif alternative.
