On 20th February 20 members of West Kent W.I.’s were invited to a Tea Tasting session to be filmed for Channel 5's "Shop Smart: Save Money" presented by Gaby Roslin and Alexis Conran. Janice Butler, Val Williams, Jane Orgill and Mary Henderson represented Hollingbourne.
We were given the task of choosing between well-known brands and supermarket own brands, without knowing which ones we were tasting.
The result was Tetley (4 votes) v Tesco Original (16 votes), Yorkshire Tea (14 votes) v Sainsbury Red Label (6 votes), PG Tips (10 votes) v Co-Op (10 votes). It was filmed on Thursday 6th June.
