Today's episode is with Alessandra Rovetta a Tearista/ Tea Expert who works at Fortnum and Mason. Fortnum and Mason is a famous upscale department store in central London well known as an “essential destination for anyone in search of extraordinary food, exceptional service, and joy-giving things”. I'm a big fan of Fortnum and Mason and really enjoyed having afternoon tea there.
Fortnum & Mason have recently launched a Bespoke Tea Blending Service which allows customers to create their own unique personalized tea blend. During our discussion, Alessandra talks about the new tea blending service, the new Fortnum & Mason “Time for Tea“ book written by Tom Parker Bowles, and some alternative London tea shop recommendations.

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
