Gold Tea Oil

Description: Our Gold Tea Oil is a tea seed oil made from 100% tea seeds harvested in Shizuoka. The bright golden tea oil has a nutty flavor with dense sweetness and umami and a slight aroma of young leaves.

Ingredients: 100% Tea Seed Oil
Origin: Shizuoka, Japan
Net: 105ml/3.55fl.oz
Box size: 2 X 2 X 7"H

500 Tea Seeds Needed to Make Our Gold Tea Oil
Every tea seed weighing approximately 2 grams produces only 0.2 grams of oil, or roughly 10% of its weight. Consequently our small Gold Tea Oil bottle (105ml) is a concentration of about 500 tea seeds. All the oil is naturally extracted by our cold press method. 10% sounds very low, however the original ratio for extracting oil from tea seeds was generally only few %. We increased the ratio to just over 10% by developing our own proprietary process. This process is currently in the patent approval process.

You can add just one teaspoon of our Gold Tea Oil to your favorite dishes and feel the vibrant power of tea!
