Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a paper cup containing beverages such as green tea, black tea, and coffee, which can be easily enjoyed by simply pouring hot water or the like.

Background Art

[0002] As an easy way to enjoy green tea, black tea, and coffee, it is widely practiced to put tea leaves, beverage powder, or tea bags into a paper cup and pour hot water to drink. In such a way of enjoying the beverage, it is necessary to prepare a paper cup and raw materials of the beverage such as tea leaves of green tea, black tea, or instant coffee powder. Since it is necessary to separately prepare a paper cup and raw materials of the beverage, a product in which raw materials of the beverage are enclosed in the paper cup itself is desired.

[0003] As something that can easily enjoy the above beverage, Patent Document 1 introduces a product in which a certain amount of tea leaves are placed in a tea cup tea leaf chamber, and by pouring hot water from the upper part of the tea cup, tea can be extracted and enjoyed in the tea leaf chamber. In this configuration, it has a structure that prevents the tea leaves from moving to the upper chamber with a honeycomb filter. In this Patent Document 1, a specific structure for installing the honeycomb filter in the tea cup is not shown, and there is doubt about its feasibility.

[0004] In addition, Non-Patent Document 1 introduces a paper cup with tea leaves that can taste Japanese tea by simply setting a filter and tea leaves in the lower inner layer of the paper cup and pouring hot water. In this paper cup, the filter is attached by thermocompression bonding of a highly transparent film also used for tea bags without using an adhesive, and is introduced as having high safety and not impairing the flavor of the tea leaves. However, in order to place tea leaves inside a paper cup and attach the filter to the inner surface of the paper cup by heat sealing, processing equipment for heat sealing is required, making it difficult to manufacture easily. Furthermore, since the tea leaves are covered only by the filter, there is a concern that moisture and other substances may penetrate through the filter and impair the flavor of the tea leaves themselves.
