The company allegedly mixed Robusta and Arabica coffee beans and sold them as 100 percent Arabica to save costs, the office said. It summoned the general manager, surnamed Liu (劉), a factory manager surnamed Lee (李), an employee surnamed Ho (何) and three witnesses for questioning, the office said. The investigation found that 13 of the company’s coffee bean products labeled as 100 percent Arabica contained Robusta beans, it said. After questioning, Lee and Ho were released on bail of NT$200,000 and NT$50,000 respectively, it said. Earlier yesterday, Liu returned NT$10 million of suspected illegal proceeds and expressed his willingness to cooperate with investigators, it said.
