Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of tea packaging technology, and in particular relates to a tea product. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, small tea bags typically use aluminum foil, kraft paper, plastic bags, or mesh bags to seal the tea in a closed space. This makes it difficult to observe the quality of the tea inside the closed space, affecting the consumer's purchasing experience. Furthermore, when brewing tea, the packaging bag needs to be opened first. If the opening is too small, the tea is difficult to pour out; if the opening is too large, the tea is prone to scattering when opening. Some tea bags also include the mesh bag for brewing, but when the mesh bag and tea are placed together in the cup for brewing, the tea inside the mesh bag is difficult to fully open, thus affecting the taste of the tea.

Specific Implementation

[0026] Please refer to Figure 1 This is an exploded three-dimensional structural diagram of a tea product provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The tea product includes tea leaves 10 and a support plate 20 made of edible material.

[0027] Combination Figure 2 This is an exploded view of one side structure of a tea product provided in an embodiment of the present utility model. The tea leaves 10 are disposed on one side of the support plate 20. An adhesive layer 30 for bonding the tea leaves 10 and the support plate 20 is provided between them. The adhesive layer 30 is made of edible adhesive 301. The tea leaves 10 are bonded to the support plate 20 in a predetermined shape by the adhesive 301.

[0028] Specifically, the tea leaves 10 mentioned here can be any type of tea, including but not limited to black tea, green tea, and white tea. The shape of the tea leaves 10 is not specifically limited in this embodiment; it can be any shape of tea leaf. Both the support plate 20 and the adhesive layer 30 are made of edible materials, meaning they can be eaten directly or dissolved in water. The support plate 20 is generally a thin, card-like structure, typically white or semi-transparent, to make the appearance of the tea leaves 10 on it stand out more. The adhesive layer 30 is located between the tea leaves 10 and the support plate 20; that is, the tea leaves 10 are bonded to the support plate 20 by the adhesive 301, thus forming the adhesive layer 30 on the support plate 20. Here, the arrangement of the tea leaves 10 on the support plate 20 is not random or disorderly, but rather arranged according to a preset shape. This not only effectively showcases the appearance of the tea leaves 10 but also enhances the aesthetics of the tea product, helping to attract consumers.

[0029] In this embodiment of the utility model, the tea leaves 10 are bonded to the support plate 20 by the adhesive layer 30, allowing consumers to visually see the quality of the tea leaves and enhancing their purchasing experience. Furthermore, both the adhesive layer 30 and the support plate 20 are made of edible materials, which melt quickly when brewed together with the tea leaves 10, allowing the tea leaves 10 to fully disperse and come into full contact with the water in the teacup, thus ensuring the tea leaves 10 are fully infused and improving the taste of the tea.

[0030] Furthermore, the adhesive 301 includes one of rice glue, candy adhesive, guar gum, and gelatin.

[0031] Here, depending on the specific type of tea leaves 10, one of the following can be selected as the corresponding adhesive material: rice glue, candy adhesive, guar gum, and gelatin, so that its melting will not affect the taste of the tea.

[0032] Furthermore, the preset shape includes one of the following: square, rectangle, rhombus, heart, circle, star, and straight line.

[0033] Here, the tea leaves 10 can be glued onto the support plate 20 in preset shapes such as squares, rectangles, rhombuses, hearts, circles, stars, and lines, depending on the amount of tea leaves 10, the type of tea leaves 10, and the specific usage scenario of the tea product. Figure 3 The tea leaves are arranged in a square on the support plate 20, as shown. Figure 4 The tea leaves are arranged in a rectangular pattern on the support plate 20, as shown. Figure 5The tea leaves are arranged in a heart shape on the support plate 20. Other tea products with preset shapes are not shown here.

[0034] Furthermore, the shape of the support plate 20 includes one of the following: circular, rectangular, and square.

[0035] Specifically, the tea products described in this utility model embodiment generally require outer packaging to ensure the cleanliness of the product. The outer packaging includes, but is not limited to, transparent plastic bags. The supporting plate 20 can be round, rectangular, or square, depending on the shape and specifications of the outer packaging, the amount of tea 10, the type of tea 10, and the specific usage scenario of the tea products.

[0036] Furthermore, the distance between the outer contour of the preset shape and the outer contour of the support plate 20 is not less than 1 cm.

[0037] Here, in order to avoid the tea products from rubbing against each other during packaging and transportation, which could damage the tea 10, the area on the support plate 20 where the tea 10 is bonded is generally smaller than the area of ​​the support plate 20; specifically, the outer contour of the preset shape and the outer contour of the support plate 20 should maintain a distance of not less than 1 cm.

[0038] Furthermore, the support plate 20 includes glutinous rice paper.

[0039] Here, the glutinous rice paper is mainly made of starch, gelatin and a small amount of lecithin, which is mixed, cast into a film and dried. Its main component is carbohydrates. In this way, it can not only provide a substrate for the tea leaves 10 to adhere to, but also be directly consumed when brewing, without affecting the taste of the tea.

[0040] Furthermore, when the support plate 20 and the adhesive layer 30 come into contact with water at a threshold temperature, they can automatically melt into edible substances.

[0041] Here, since both the support plate 20 and the adhesive layer 30 are made of edible materials, they will quickly melt into edible substances after coming into contact with water, especially when they come into contact with water at the higher temperature required for brewing tea, and will not affect the taste of the tea.

[0042] Furthermore, in other preferred embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 6 The diagram shown is an exploded three-dimensional structural diagram of a tea product provided in an embodiment of the present invention. The tea product further includes an additive layer 40, which is formed by a plurality of spaced additive particles 401. The additive layer 40 is located on the side of the adhesive layer 30 facing the support plate 20.

[0043] Specifically, the additive layer 40 includes a plurality of additive particles 401 spaced apart, and the plurality of additive particles 401 are disposed on the side of the adhesive layer 30 facing the support plate 20. Here, the additive particles 401 are generally first sprinkled on the support plate 20 to form the additive layer 40, and then the corresponding adhesive 301 is sprayed on the side of the support plate 20 on which the additive particles 401 are sprinkled to form the adhesive layer 30. Finally, the tea leaves 10 are arranged on the adhesive layer 30 according to the preset shape to complete the production of the tea product.

[0044] Furthermore, the additive granules 401 include one of the following: fruit-flavored granules, traditional Chinese medicine granules, and health product granules.

[0045] Specifically, depending on the specific type of tea 10 and the specific usage scenario and target of the tea product, fruit-flavored granules, traditional Chinese medicine granules, or health product granules can be selected to make the additive layer 40.

[0046] Here, the addition of the additive layer 40 can enrich the flavor and function of the tea product, and further improve the quality of the tea product.

[0047] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
