Upton Tea Imports is an American company, based in Holliston, Massachusetts, that sells specialty teas. The company was founded in 1989 by Tom Eck, [1] and the trademark was acquired by The Republic of Tea in August 2016. [2] Upton carries only loose tea and does not sell any teabags. [3]

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. [4]

The company also sells teapots, including one that comes with a tea infuser with a wire mesh. [5]
