ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a beverage device. The beverage device comprises a beverage pack for adding flavor to a liquid, such as water. The beverage pack can be a tea bag but is not limited thereto. For instance, the beverage pack can also have coffee or mulling spices, as examples. The beverage device also comprises shield means for encapsulating the beverage pack within a bottom of a cup. The shield means is preferably connected to the beverage pack with a string. In one embodiment the shield means is collapsible from an open orientation to a closed orientation. In the open orientation the shield means provides flow channels for allowing the beverage pack to steep. In the closed orientation the flow channels are closed. Preferably the shield means comprises a first portion and a second portion. The first portion is slidably connected to the second portion to allow the shield means to be moved from the open orientation to closed orientation. There can also be a stick member, such as stirrer, for pushing the shield means to the bottom of the cup. The cup can have a notch portion at the bottom for engaging with the shield means. Preferably the shield means comprises sealing material, such as sponge, disposed on its periphery to seal the shield means against the sides of the cup. Sealing material can also be disposed between the first and second portions for sealing them together when they are in the closed orientation.
