There’s a Korean tea my wife likes. In Korean it says ‘tea for men’. In English it says ‘oriental raisin tea’.
Men == oriental raisins?

  @johannab probably a cultural association that maybe doesn’t translate well. Like the item is maybe something used more often for men in traditional medicine, that type of thing

  @skinnylatte That makes me really ponder, was that translated from Korean to English by a native Korean speaker, a native English speaker, or did the description happen in both languages without knowing the name in the other?
