ABSTRACT:
The improved cup comprises a closed bottom and connected closed sidewall defining a central brewing liquid-retaining space and an open top. The liquid may be, for example, tea, herb tea, etc. The upper end of the sidewall defines an exposed rim having a brew bag string-retaining notch extending down therein. The notch prevents the entire length of the bag string and the bag string end tab from being inadvertently drawn down into the cup liquid during and after brewing of the liquid. Thus, there is no occasion to fish a wet bag string and tab from the liquid. Instead, the tab remains dry and accessible outside the cup, thus readily available for withdrawing the bag from the cup when desired. The notch can also serve as a vent hole for the cup when the cup is inverted after washing. The notch can be of any suitable string- and tab-retaining configuration. The portion of the rim defining it can be elastomeric and of crushable foamed plastic or the like so as to releasably grip the string and accommodate strings of various sizes. The cup is simple, inexpensive, durable and efficient.
