Benefits of technology

The invention is a beverage substance that can be made more quickly and efficiently than previous methods. The particles used in the beverage are small, which allows for a larger surface area and better taste and aroma development. The particles are also large enough to be easily filtered out of the final beverage, ensuring a smooth and contamination-free experience for the consumer. The average particle size is measured using the Malvern laser diffraction method, with a D4,3-value of between -25 and -35 micrometers. The invention also includes a method for brewing the beverage by introducing boiling water for a specific amount of time, which ensures optimal brewing results.

Problems solved by technology

In this connection, however, the problem arises that a high quality tea beverage has to be prepared in a comparatively short brewing time.
The quality of the tea beverage produced in a brewing chamber machine using a portion capsule is consequently comparatively bad.

Embodiment Construction

[0029]FIG. 1 shows a schematic side view of a sectional drawing of a portion capsule 1 as claimed in a first embodiment of the present invention, the portion capsule 1 having a substantially truncated-cone-shaped base element 2 which is realized in the manner of a pot and surrounds a hollow space 3. The hollow space 3 is sealed by a covering foil 4 in the form of a membrane. The base element 2 comprises in particular a soft or rigid plastics material. The covering foil 4 preferably comprises a thin plastics material or aluminum foil. The base element 2 has a circumferential fastening flange 20 in the region of the membrane 4, the membrane 4 being positively bonded, in particular welded or glued, to the fastening flange 20. Inside the base element 2 is arranged a filter element 5 which is produced from a thermoplastic plastics material, for example polypropylene. The filter element 5 divides the hollow space 3 into a first region 6 and into a second region 7. The first region 6 is pr...

Abstract

A beverage substance for producing a tea beverage is proposed, wherein the beverage substance is intended to be stored in a portion capsule and to be infused in the portion capsule by means of hot water introduced under pressure into the portion capsule, wherein the beverage substance is substantially particulate and at least in part comprises tea, and wherein the beverage substance has a mean particle size of between 500 micrometres and 1,500 micrometres.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a Continuation of International Application No. PCT / EP2012 / 001124, filed on Mar. 14, 2012, entitled BEVERAGE SUBSTANCE, PORTION CAPSULE, AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING A BEVERAGE, which application is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.BACKGROUND[0002]The present invention relates to a beverage substance for producing a tea beverage, wherein the beverage substance is provided to be stored in a portion capsule and to be brewed in the portion capsule by means of hot water being introduced under pressure into the portion capsule, and wherein the beverage substance is substantially granulate and comprises tea at least in part.[0003]Such beverage substances are generally known and are frequently filled into portion capsules. For example, FR 2 556 323 A1 makes known a portion capsule for producing a beverage which has a substantially truncated-cone-shaped or cylindrical base element, which has a hollow space, and a m...
