ABSTRACT:
A suspended beverage infusion bag (10, 20) is disclosed. The bag has a cover (13, 23) which is two generally planar leaves (12, 22) separated by a fold line (14, 24). The fold line (14, 24) may be vertical or horizontal, depending on the style of the infusion bag. Both of the cover leaves (12, 22) have a downwardly-facing slot (11, 21) which fits over and fastens the cover (13, 23) to the rim (1) of a beverage cup (2), thereby holding the leaves (12, 22) in spaced-apart relationship on the cup rim (1). A porous filter bag (15, 25) is attached to the cover (13, 23); either along one of the filter bag's side surfaces (17, 27), or along its top edge, by a single glue line (31) on one side surface (18, 30) of a planar leave (12, 22). When one filter bag (15, 25)is used, it is attached to the cover (13, 23) near the fold line (14, 24). When two filter bags (15, 25) are used, they are attached to the cover near the side or bottom edges of the two leaves (12, 22). This way, the filter bag (15, 25) is suspended near the center inside of the cup (2), away from the cup side walls (5) and easily available for contact on all sides with the water (3) in the cup.
