[0002]

[Prior art]

  A conventional tea strainer has a tea strainer net with a handle as a main part. Tea to this Put the leaves and put it on the mouth of the bowl, and pour hot water into it, and the wet tea leaves will open to the air outside the bowl. Since it is released, it is convenient to use, but the flavor of tea leaves will escape and escape. I have a problem. Although related to this point, the inventors of the present invention simply pour hot water onto the tea leaves to prepare the tea. Not only the components are extracted (or decoction), but also steam (hereinafter referred to as steam) Write down. ) To capture the flavor and make it into chayu without spreading it outside. It was found that the taste of Japanese tea, black tea, oolong tea, etc. could be significantly improved by shifting. did. However, the conventional tea strainer does not have such a steaming function.

[0003]   On the other hand, the conventional tea strainer exposes the wet tea leaves to the outside air when used, resulting in a warming effect. There is a lack of lack of taste and elegance. In this regard, the entire bowl is housed in an internal cavity A tea strainer having a fruit-shaped outer shape was proposed (Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 6-39613). This It has an opening at the top of the main body that serves as a pouring outlet for hot water, and a tea strainer net is placed at the opening to open it. It is provided with a lid that closes the mouth.

[0004]   However, even if the bowl is an industrially-produced product, it is an article with excellent aesthetic taste. Yes, there is a difference in the basic shape such as the presence or absence of the handle depending on the type of tea leaves, There are deep and shallow ratios of height to width of the mouth, and the diameter of the mouth The size is not necessarily uniform for each type of tea. Thus, the above fruit type Shaped tea strainers are difficult to use for various types of bowls. If the above If you make the actual shape of the tea strainer body with a large diameter suitable for a tea bowl for black tea, Japanese tea When applying to a teacup with a relatively small diameter such as a teacup, a tea strainer inside the cavity The horizontal adjustment of the bowl arrangement with respect to the net is troublesome. Also, it is suitable for drinking Japanese tea Although the fruit-type tea strainer manufactured by Sasaki has a relatively large mouth diameter like a tea bowl for black tea, When applying to a tea bowl with a fairly shallow depth, the top and bottom of the bottom of the tea strainer and the tea surface inside the tea bowl Improper spacing.
