PG Tips and Lipton are world-famous tea brands. Now, an undercover investigation for Panorama reveals that women working on plantations producing their tea are being pressured to have sex with their bosses in return for work. The investigation focuses on plantations that have been owned for years by two British companies – Unilever and James Finlay & Co – who between them have produced half the tea drunk in the UK.
