The present invention provides a device and a method for processing gold leaf to make the gold leaf float on a tea, beverage, alcohol, or the like to be suitable to drink. To this end, provided is a gold leaf processing device and a gold leaf processing method. The gold leaf processing device separates gold leaf from a gold leaf fabric having a first base material attached thereto, and attaches the separated gold leaf to a second base material, the gold leaf processing device comprising: a gold leaf attaching part which dips the gold leaf fabric in an aqueous solution to allow the first base material to be sunk and separated from the gold leaf, and attaches the second base material to the gold leaf remaining, in a floating state, on the surface of the aqueous solution; and a gold leaf fabric transfer part which transfers the gold leaf fabric to the gold leaf attaching part. The gold leaf processing method separates gold leaf from a gold leaf fabric having a first base material attached thereto, and attaches the separated gold leaf to a second base material, the gold leaf processing method comprising the steps of: dipping the gold leaf fabric in an aqueous solution to allow the gold leaf to float on the surface thereof and allow the first base material to be sunk and separated; and attaching the second base material to the gold leaf remaining, in a floating state, on the surface of the aqueous solution.

A device for assisting in brewing a beverage includes a timer, an output unit, a storage unit, and a control unit electrically connected to aforementioned components. The control unit controls, based on timing data stored in the storage unit, the timer to measure a time interval of a procedure of brewing the beverage, and controls, based on measurement of the time interval, the output unit to output the timing result generated by the timer, and to output in sequence plural entries of indication data that are stored in the storage unit, that are associated with the procedure of brewing the beverage, and that include information of purported visual and gustatory perceptions of the beverage at different stages during the procedure of brewing.

The present invention relates to a method of preparing a compressed true whole leaf tea dip product. The method includes the step of tying the leaves with a string and step of compressing the tea leaves which results in preserving the shape of the leaves so that the tea leaves do not break and in unfurling of tea leaves without significant breakage. The way the tea leaves are plucked in the garden also plays an important role to preserve the shape without breakage when dipped in hot water during the preparation of tea beverage. In the present invention a natural unbroken true whole leaf tea dip is made from the leaves of the tea plant Camellia Sinensis and compressed in the smallest size possible in any desired weight or volume in a way to prevent the breakage of the tea leaves.

The present invention relates to a sexual function improving composition containing as an active ingredient: exopolysaccharide produced by means of Ceriporia lacerata; a Ceriporia lacerata mycelium culture medium comprising the exopolysaccharide; dry powder of the mycelium culture medium; or an extract of the mycelium culture medium. The composition can be used as a sexual function improving drug for preventing or treating erectile dysfunction or diabetic erectile dysfunction or as a functional health food having sexual function improving effect.
