With the above configuration, when a beverage container has a mouth directly on the spout portion and drinks, the tea leaves do not enter the mouth together with the beverage. It is not necessary to remove the tea leaf storage section.

(Problems of beverage container of Patent Document 3)
However, in order to achieve the above effect, the beverage container described in Patent Document 3 not only requires a very large number of parts, but each part itself must have a complicated structure. Moreover, it cannot be said that the connection method and attachment method between components are also simple. In particular, the water channel that connects the container main body and the spout port is partitioned by many members such as tea leaf storage, lid, inner plug, and plug, so it is difficult to clean after use and improves hygiene. There is room for. Further, even during use, clogging is likely to occur due to tea leaves or the like in the water passage hole, and there is a concern that even if the beverage container is tilted with the mouth directly attached to the spout portion, the beverage does not easily flow out.
