When I designed the label, I, for some odd reason, was thinking 24 karat gold. However, after receiving the tea \u0026amp; looking at the description again, I stand corrected. The inventory is limited with this tea, so I'll just ride with the mistake \u0026amp; it'll be our little secret. In the nature of Japanese philosophy, it makes me think of kintsugi. The gold flakes that are blended with the tea are in fact 22 karat gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow that the elephant in the room has been pointed out, let's talk about the tea! This tea is a treat \u0026amp; a true gem among senchas. Grown from the Kuradashi tea trees by the acclaimed Japanese tea farmer, Issaku. The leaves from these award-winning trees were processed into the most popular Japanese tea, sencha. Sencha is a Japanese green tea that is steamed, rolled, \u0026amp; then dried rather than powdered like matcha. This particular tea has a beautiful umami flavor with a vegetal \u0026amp; herby taste on the backend. Truly a magnificent tea to share with friends \u0026amp; family. The 22 karat gold flakes that are added to the tea don't bring any particular benefit or taste; however, you can't have an award-winning tea without showing off the gold! Plus, kinpaku-cha (gilded tea) is a great tea to share with guests on the New Year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether you are celebrating the New Year or a Wedding, bring a bit of gold to your tea ceremony with this lovely kinpaku sencha.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mystic Mug","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52309523431736,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0761\/5974\/6360\/files\/2B06E01F-CF37-4AE8-8D4E-17227350E343.jpg?v=1779076682","url":"https:\/\/mysticmugtea.com\/products\/issaku-kuradashi-sencha-green-tea-with-22k-gold-flakes","provider":"Mystic Mug","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
