What strain/color is Gold?

[jzf2399]

I have seen some Kratom that says Red Gold for instance. What is Gold made with?

It is different vendor to vendor, so you'd have to specifically ask that vendor what it means. For some vendors, gold is just a powder dried and colored between a green and a red. For others, it could be a mix of a 50/50 green and red. Most golds are just mixes in my experience.

Our golds are all fermented greens - gathered and transparent bagged and set outside for a time when wet and then dried indoors with little to no stem and vein.

^ this exactly. My A supplier does golds by oxidizing greens. It’ll be different vendor to vendor.

Oxidizing at least makes some kind of difference I would think (I don't actually know, not a molecular biologist or anything ha-ha) compared to (what I have read) some vendors just mixing a couple batches, maybe a green and a red, or a red and a white, or just whatever, cause it's all from the same tree. On that note, it is appreciated when vendors mention details about the finalizing/drying/fermenting/etc. process of a strain, I just don't always know what it means as far as the effect it will have.
