ABSTRACT:
The invention is a holder for multiple string suspended tea bags. In its preferred embodiment, it consists of a rigid rod, the end of which is concentrically encased in an end cap, and kept in place with an end cap holder. A plurality of spring means are suspended from the rod by means of tabs attached and secured to the rod. The tabs are kept separated by washer-like spacers and end spacers concentrically placed around the rod. Tea bag strings and tea bags are held vertically suspended in hot water for brewing.
In other embodiments of the invention, the rod is replaced with a T-shaped beam from which a tab-spring means may be suspended or which has a plurality of notches along its upper edge to hold the tea bag string and tea bag.
In different embodiments of the invention the rod or beam in a horizontal position may either be placed on the other rim of a cup or vessel or attached at opposite sides of the underneath of a vessel cover.
