I had wondered for some time where Mrs Hudson purchased the excellent tea she provides on a Sunday afternoon, which is clearly far above our regular tea.  I am sure now it is being sent by Holmes’ old friend Victor Trevor.  Holmes makes no mention of it, but whenever he drinks that particular cup he smiles as if remembering someone.

Great minds think alike this week! Or maybe we just both like tea too much.

I really don't understand you tea-drinkers...

[okapi1895.livejournal.com]

It's a cult (of very nice people).

[scfrankles.livejournal.com]

Indeed you are ^_^

[thesmallhobbit.livejournal.com]

Tea is one of the elixirs of life.

Tea is indeed very popular and one of the mainstays of the empire.

I love your title ^^

This is such a great and touching idea - that Holmes and Trevor remain in touch, and Trevor sends over packages of tea from the plantations. I think I shall keep that as headcanon ^^

Thank you. Theirs continues to be a very understated relationship.
