For everything you want to know about choosing, using and infusing teas there's only one woman to call, that's Henrietta Lovell aka the Rare Tea Lady. She talks to us about her passion for teaand shares her incredible knowledge on how teas can enhance all manner of drinking experiences – in the home, restaurant and bar.

But before we hear from her, there's the business of our product reviews to attend to… We start with Witchmark Black Lime Single Origin English Gin produced in Wiltshire and follow with Sacred Triple Sec, proudly distilled in Ian Hart's north London home.

Our book sees us getting into full disco mode as we enter the spirit of Natasha David's 'Drink Lightly – A lighter take on serious cocktails, with 100+ recipes for low and no-alcohol drinks', then it's time to get serious in our bar pack of the week, which is the classic Vesper Bar at The Dorchester in London.

Then it's over to Mexico City where we talk tea with Henrietta Lovell.
