Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a package for black tea that has excellent morphological stability and can be used to make a black tea beverage extremely efficiently and effectively.

As is already known, black tea for general home use is mainly produced using the tea bag method, in which a certain amount of black tea is stored in a bag made of water-permeable non-woven fabric or paper, and a string is tied to the top made of iron. The format is widely used.

When using the bag, hold the top end of the yarn with your fingertips and suspend the bag, place it in a tea cup, then pour boiling water into the cup to leach out the black tea ingredients, and then use the yarn. and then removes the inside of the cup.

In such a procedure, in order to effectively infuse the tea components into the hot water in a short time, the bag is generally suspended by holding the top end of the thread, and the bag is rocked up and down in the hot water in a cup. This is the actual situation.

However, in the form of a tea bag equipped with such threads, the above-mentioned swinging within the cup is only possible in the vertical direction, and in reality, it is not possible to swing the tea bag effectively, and it is difficult to shake the cup from within the bag in a short time. Moreover, it is difficult to effectively leach black tea components into hot water.

Furthermore, there is a problem in that water droplets continue to fall from the bag even during removal due to poor drainage when the bag is removed from the cup.

The present invention aims to improve the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional tea bag method, and also to provide a tea package that can be produced extremely efficiently and has a structure with good morphological stability, as shown in Fig. 1. A certain amount of black tea 3 is stored in a vertically long bag 2 made of heat-sealable non-woven fabric or paper 1 and whose vertical dimension is larger than the depth of the tea cup, and a long side seal part 4 of the iron 2 is attached to the bag 2. Thin rods 5 made of resin are integrally heat-bonded, and the upper part of the iron 2 is pinched with fingertips, and the left and right sides are placed in hot water in the cup as described above.

It is designed so that it can be freely shaken or rocked in any direction up or down, and can be effectively drained when taken out.

More specifically, water-permeable fibers that can be heat-sealed are made of short fibers such as polypropylene, polyvinylidene chloride, or polyethylene that have a relatively low softening and melting temperature, or by mixing these short fibers. A nonwoven fabric or paper 1 is cut into a narrow ribbon shape, a certain amount of black tea 3 is placed on the nonwoven fabric or paper 1, and then the nonwoven fabric or paper 1 is folded in half in the longitudinal direction, and the long side ends are polymerized. A thin rod 5 made of the same synthetic resin as the heat-adhesive fiber described above is inserted between the sections, and then the upper and lower short sides 6 and the long side 7 with the thin rod 5 inserted therein are inserted. The black tea 3 is sealed by heat-sealing 8 and 4, and a thin rod of synthetic resin is integrally thermally bonded to the long side 7 and the heat-sealing part 4.

It goes without saying that the above-mentioned packaging procedure is not limited to this, and packaging can be performed using various procedures and methods.

Although FIG. 1 shows a single package, such a package is manufactured in a continuous state in the longitudinal direction as shown in FIG. It can be efficiently obtained by cutting and separating the seal portions 8, 8 at the intermediate portion.

The thin rod 5 made of synthetic resin in the above-mentioned embodiment preferably has a flat cross-sectional shape, and in the embodiment, it is inserted and bonded only to one long side of the package, but it is attached to both long sides. It may be inserted and glued to each part.

Further, the thin rod 5 is not limited to synthetic resin, but may be made of a piece of bamboo, wood, etc. and may be inserted and integrated.

In addition, the practical dimensions of the package in this invention are about 2 to 5 cm in width and about 10 to 15 cm in length, and when commercially available, each package is wrapped in a non-breathable transparent film sheet as shown in Figure 4. ) It is best to package it in a sealed package.

As described above, the tea package according to the present invention is a tea bag that is placed in a vertically long bag 2 that is made of a heat-sealable water-permeable nonwoven fabric or paper 1 and whose vertical dimension is larger than the depth dimension of the tea cup. of black tea 3 is accommodated, and the long side 4 of the iron 2
5 are integrally heat-bonded, so even though the package is vertically long, it maintains its shape even if one short side is pinched with your fingertips without bending in the middle, making it extremely easy to store black tea. It can be located within the cup.

In addition, it is easy and effective to freely shake the package both left and right and up and down within the tea cup while or after pouring hot water into the tea cup, thereby infusing the black tea ingredients. Distant relatives can be quickly identified.

Furthermore, the presence of the thin rod 5 makes it possible to efficiently drain the water from the package when taking it out from the tea cup, while maintaining its stable form. Dripping from the packaging is significantly reduced.

Furthermore, since it does not require hanging strings like traditional tea bags, tea packs, i.e., quantitative packaging, can be produced economically, and it is easy to handle, which has many practical advantages. play.
