The Magnolia Oolong is a sparkling version of the Jinxuan "Golden Lily" Oolong tea from Fujian Province, China, harvested at 1,000 metres of elevation and intensively scented with magnolia blossoms from Guangxi Province. It is radiantly silky — creamy and floral, with bright notes of candied melon, papaya, and crisp pear, luminous and alive, a bottling that genuinely evokes dewy springtime sunshine. And an award winner, selected by the Sommelier Choice Awards as the non-alcoholic wine of the year!
There's a word for the ambient murmur of nature settling into itself, the quiet hum of conversation at a table where something good is being poured. That word is susurrus, the name Ellison Wofford chose for her sparkling tea company. And it tells you almost everything you need to know about what she's trying to create. Originally from South Carolina, she moved to Napa in 2013 and spent the years that followed working across multiple dimensions of the wine business —most notably as General Manager of Sonoma County's newest star, RAEN Winery, where she began to wonder why tea wasn't as revered in the US as it was in Asia.
