It’s not yet afternoon, but I decided to try this. I love my man, Jackee Muntz, and know that I have a limited number of dates with him. Will the famous lodgings of Baker Street bring me any joy?
And the answer is a resounding yes. This is a good smoky tea. I can see it joining the permanent cast of characters in my life. And it does conjure up a feel of the Holmsian sitting room. Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson have been down in the country for a while tracking down the hound of the Baskervilles and the sitting room retains that masculine flavor of smoke; the Persian slipper containing the pipe-tobacco still hangs, but nobody has lit up for several days so the air is redolent but not noxious.
Upton Teas has an excellent blend here and it makes me eager to pursue my love of smoky teas.

I think Upton is a stand up company. They deliver extremely fast and their service is excellent. And they have an encyclopedic selection of tea. I will have to try this one.
Upton is wonderful. Their prices are really good and the selection is phenomenal.
Upton is what introduced me to tea leaf. A friend directed me there (and I believe this was my first from them). I absolutely love this tea. I just got a new batch from them and have been enjoying it this morning. It says afternoon but for me it’s a morning tea.
I love Upton also, I have about 12 of their samples now.
Upton is the best tea company ever. It’s what you graduate to after you grow up from Adagio.
I am…a shameless…
No.
A rabidly shameless Sherlock Holmes fangirl (print, not movie…pshaw). That alone would be enough to make me want to try this. The fact that it’s slightly smoky seals the deal. Stab some mail into the mantle and save a cup for me!
