KUCHING, Nov 2: The famous Chinese tea ‘TieGuanYin’ flavoured with orange juice, papaya milk or mango milk flavour has been turned into ‘ecstasy juice’.
Packed in white plastic packets with Chinese and English writings of ‘TeiGuanYin’ Juice and its different flavors, each packet of ‘flavoured Chinese Tea’ infused with the ecstasy drug is sold at RM250 each.
The package is also printed with “Net Wieght: 18g” with the word ‘weight” wrongly spelled as “Wieght”
The special ‘Ecstasy Tea Juice’ was found on Halloween night during a police bust at a car park in front of a condominium in BDC here.
The narcotics police had on Oct 31 at 11.30pm arrested a local 28-year-old man and a 29-year-old woman from China, who were coming out from a black four wheeler parked there.
