ME IN GOLD participated in Drink Seoul 2025, held at COEX in Seoul from April 10 to 12.

The company develops and sells various products using gold foil as its core material, including food items, crafts, and cosmetics. Gold foil refers to ultra-thin sheets of paper layered with more than 95% pure gold at a thickness of approximately 0.1 microns. After a decade of research, ME IN GOLD has developed proprietary technology that enables precise design, high productivity, and diverse product forms. The company now aims to expand into global markets.

Building on its patented 24K edible gold foil processing technology—filed and registered in five countries, including South Korea—ME IN GOLD has launched its flagship product, “TEA GOLD,” in the F&B sector. The company also develops follow-up models for cosmetics, crafts, and specialty printing applications.

According to ME IN GOLD, TEA GOLD is made entirely with edible gold of 99% or higher purity and can be added to beverages such as coffee, tea, and alcohol. The product allows for customized designs, including adding gold foil to photo cards. It can elevate the presentation of drinks with a luxurious touch, making it ideal for special occasions, events, and even K-pop merchandise.
