This is just one of many shocking scenes recorded through a hidden camera of a BTV reporter who plays a reporter working at a Tealand branch in Beijing, China, according to Asia One.
This milk tea shop belongs to a chain of stores originating from Hangzhou, China. Outstanding products of this system, in addition to oolong coffee... are other fruit-based drinks.
However, these stores were forced to close pending investigation after the video was released by BTV.
In the video, the store employee used the damaged fruit, did not wash the tools after using them, and added filtered water to their " 100%" fruit juice.
When asked if the ripe mangoes that the manager was cutting into the cup could still be eaten, the manager replied that if left in the stone part for a while, they would no longer smell.
A fresher mango is also chopped and mixed with other pieces of fruit in an effort to hide the damaged pieces.
More shockingly, when the reporter wanted to throw away the fruit juice that had fallen on the tray, the manager stopped her and poured them into a cup, possibly to sell to any customer.
The behavior of the manager also confused the staff. An employee who was rumored to be complaining that when she tried to get something cooler for customers because she was a child, the manager stopped her. She said, "My salary is broken," and another employee added, "I feel really guilty."
It did not stop there. The hidden camera also discovered that the store had cut fruits such as kiwis that had been taken out of the refrigerator for up to 3 days and had turned black or unused tea kept in the refrigerator for sale the next day.
In the video, another employee at the milk tea shop discussed that she used to like drinking milk tea, but now she won't touch it at all "for even if given".
Chinese authorities are currently investigating 30 Tealand stores. The company has also posted an apology on its website and social network Weibo, admitting that their actions are "unforgivable".
