It is expected that one more C-28 model will be added in 2015, resulting in four machines total. After the C-28
production line is set up, along with the automated C-24 introduced in 2004, Ten Ren will have the most powerful
tea packaging production lineup. All product series on store shelves, distribution channels, and hypermarkets will be
replaced with aluminum-staple-free tea packages which have improved security for its contents and environmental
friendliness. Over 90% of Ten Ren's packaged tea will be free of aluminum staples by 2016, which will make Ten Ren
the industry leader in this regard. We hope that consumers will have more assurance, trust, and satisfaction toward Ten
Ren's packaged tea.

wishes to create a more reassuring environment for consumers through double checking to monitor food safety. Ten
Ren has also cooperated with SGS information platform, where relevant inspection reports are made available on the
platform at any time.
Note: All processed tea refreshments do not contain trans-fat; however, for the purpose of preservation, saturated fat, sodium and sugar cannot be
reduced during the production process. For example, preserved fruits require high concentration of salt and sugar for extended shelf life, and
similar the concept applies to pineapple cakes and mocha.

Batch inspection
Electronic moisture-proof
Ten Ren has adopted the highest standard to ensure our food safety. For Ten Ren, samples taken from every batch of
dry tea leaves are sent to SGS for testing before it is accepted in the storehouse, and each batch of dry tea leaves can
only be accepted if the samples have passed. There are 300 to 400 kinds of pesticides that "may be detected" and "may
be used" in Taiwan. Ten Ren spends over NT$ 3 million on testing every year. The general sampling check in the market
requires companies to set a certain percentage for sampling check, such as 1,000 batches per year, or set a certain
sampling percentage for a certain type of tea; it can be conducted before or after acceptance, there is no well established
standard. Therefore, the batch testing method adopted by Ten Ren for many years is the highest testing standard in
the industry. The batch testing of dry tea leaves conducted by SGS totaled 679 in 2014. Regarding product labeling,
