Upton Tea Imports is an American company, based in Holliston, Massachusetts, that sells specialty teas. The company was founded in 1989 and is owned and operated by Thomas Eck.〔Barbara Carton, "FINER BREWS ARE GAINING A FOLLOWING HIGH TIME FOR TEA SIDEBAR: TIPS FROM A TEA TASTER: BEYOND THE GOURMET TAG, ''Boston Globe'', June 2, 1993.〕 Upton carries only loose tea and does not sell any teabags.〔Jenna Russell, "HE HAS TEAS FOR A PROPER CUPPAH ECK NEEDS MORE SPACE FOR BUDDING TASTES", ''Boston Globe'', July 29, 2001.〕 Upton publishes the "Upton Tea Quarterly" which is primarily a mail-order catalog of their teas, but also contains historical and educational information about tea.〔"BUSINESS ENJOYS STEEP INCREASE", ''Worcester Telegram & Gazette'', Aug. 21st, 1995.〕 The company also sells teapots, including one that comes with a tea infuser with a wire mesh.〔(Regina Schrambling, "One woman's search for the perfect teapot; Opaque isn't ideal, and then there's the matter of drips and cleanup....", ''Los Angeles Times'', January 14, 2004. )〕 One expensive grade of Assam tea, selling for $45.75 for 100 grams, was one of Upton's most popular teas in 2008; a buyer for the company remarked that although the tea was expensive as teas go, it is much cheaper than the highest grades of wine, coffee, or Scotch whisky.〔(William R.
