In a further development to the DDT-tainted rose tea incident, the tea products of another England Stornaway tea shop were exposed on Wednesday last week as containing pesticide residues, including 150kg of Ceylon black tea, 240kg of Darjeeling black tea and 330kg of Earl Grey black tea. The Tainan City Government Department of Health has already informed the health departments of other cities and has issued trade stoppage notices to 96 England Stornaway shops. In addition, the department has called on the public to temporarily refrain from from purchasing England Stornaway tea products.
As a result of its rose tea testing positive for DDT pesticide, England Stornaway took the decision to send all of its tea products purchased from wholesaler Chou Chieh Trading for testing. The results revealed that six out of eight kinds of tea leaves contained agricultural pesticides, meaning that at least one-fifth of the tea products on the menus in the chain’s shops are not fit for sale. In view of this, the Tainan City Government Department of Health required 96 England Stornaway shops to cease trading and remove products from sale as a precautionary measure.
In addition, England Stornaway estimates that it will need to suspend trading for a further one-to-two weeks in order to change its tea supplier. As a consequence, England Stornaway convened a meeting with its franchise stores and is presently coordinating a response.

「英國藍」玫瑰花茶含殺蟲劑DDT案，上週三爆出其他店內茶品也有農藥殘留，包含錫蘭紅茶一百五十公斤、大吉嶺紅茶兩百四十公斤、伯爵紅茶三百三十公斤等都被驗出含有農藥殘留。台南市衛生局已通知其他縣市衛生局，對九十六家「英國藍」發出停止作業通知，並呼籲民眾暫時不要購買「英國藍」的茶品。
「英國藍」因玫瑰花茶被驗出含殺蟲劑DDT，因此事後將向洲界貿易所購入的茶品自主送驗，結果竟發現八種原茶中就有六種原茶被驗出含有農藥殘留，店內的販賣清單中至少有五分之一的茶品不得販賣，因此台南市衛生局已要求九十六家「英國藍」停止作業，並進行預防性下架。
此外，因若需更換供應茶業的廠商，「英國藍」估計需再停業一至二週，因此今天「英國藍」也召集加盟業者，目前還在協調如何因應。

In 2023, an 80-year-old woman in Taipei suffocated her paralyzed son after over five decades of caring for him. Turning herself in immediately, she confessed that worsening health and anxiety about who would care for him after her death had driven her to act. The court, acknowledging her difficult situation, sentenced her to two-and-a-half years in prison while recommending a presidential pardon. This rare judicial recommendation drew a complicated social response. Supporters argue that the mother’s half-century of caregiving renders her deserving of compassion instead of incarceration, believing that allowing her to live her final years in dignity and

It sat on the fruit stand like a small sunset, red on one side and gold on the other. “I’ll take this one,” said Daniel. The fruit seller shook her head. “Not that one.” Daniel was surprised. “Why not? It looks beautiful.” “Yes,” she said, “but beautiful is not always ready.” She picked up another mango and held it near his nose. “First, smell here.” Daniel smelled the top of the mango. It was sweet and warm. “Good mangoes have a smell,” she said. “Next, feel the weight.”
