Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a system for producing a tea beverage, comprising a brewing chamber and a portion capsule having a cavity in which tea granules are contained, wherein the portion capsule is provided in the brewing chamber and a liquid flows through the brewing chamber and the portion capsule and, in the process, extracts and/or desorbs the tea granules and as a result produces a tea beverage.
  • the object of the present invention was therefore to provide a system which does not exhibit the disadvantages of the prior art.
  • a system for producing a tea beverage comprising a brewing chamber and a portion capsule having a cavity in which tea granules are contained, wherein the portion capsule is provided in the brewing chamber and a liquid flows through the brewing chamber and the portion capsule and, in the process, extracts and/or desorbs the tea granules and as a result produces a tea beverage, wherein the tea granules are provided such that the square of the average volumetric flow rate of the liquid is at least 1.3.
  • the system comprises a brewing chamber and a portion capsule.
  • the portion capsules for producing a tea beverage are preferably in the shape of a truncated cone or cylinder and are produced, for example, from a thermoformed plastic film or using a plastic injection-moulding process.
  • Said portion capsules usually have a capsule base, a cavity with an open filling side, and a collar edge on which a cover film or foil is sealed or adhesively bonded. Before the cover film or foil is arranged on the collar edge, the existing cavity is filled with tea granules.
  • a filter element which is supported against the capsule base is preferably arranged between the tea granules and the capsule base, the said filter element preventing particles from entering the tea beverage.
  • the tea granules are, in particular, substances which are used for producing a fruit and/or herbal tea, that is to say preferably dried pieces of fruit flesh and/or fruit skin and/or tea-like substances which can each be contained in whole form and/or in comminuted, in particular ground, form.
  • the granules often have a large number of different components which are contained, in particular, as a mixture.
  • the granules include fine cuts of fruit, in particular apple and/or orange, flesh and/or skin which can be contained in ground or unground form.
  • Lemongrass, ginger and any other substance from which a fruit tea can be produced is also a preferred constituent part of the tea granules.
  • the portion capsule Before the extraction process, the portion capsule is preferably sealed off from the environment in a substantially aroma-tight manner.
  • the portion capsule does not have to be hermetically sealed, but rather can also be provided in a hermetically sealed package before it is used, the said hermetically sealed package then being, for example, manually opened, and/or openings which may be present in the capsule base and/or in the cover region are covered by a film or foil which is pulled off and/or pierced before the tea is produced.
  • the brewing chamber which is part of a corresponding automatic machine, comprises, for example, two parts which can be separated and joined together, and therefore open and, respectively, close the brewing chamber.
  • the portion capsule is inserted into the brewing chamber in order to prepare the tea beverage.
  • the capsule is preferably opened on its closed bottom side by means of an opening mandrel which is arranged in the brewing chamber, and after the brewing chamber is sealed off, the filling side of the portion capsule, which filling side is sealed by means of a sealing film or foil, is tapped by means of one or more puncturing means. Hot water is then delivered to the portion capsule under pressure.
  • the water flows through the tea granules and extracts and/or dissolves the substances which are required for producing the beverage from the tea granules.
  • the tea beverage which is produced in this way leaves the portion capsule and is collected in a container.
  • the temperature of the hot water is preferably 90-100° C.
  • the hot water is preferably provided at the portion capsule input at a pressure of 10-20 bar.
  • the volumetric flow rate of the hot water is preferably continuous, but can also be intermittent.
  • the tea granules are now provided such that the square of the average volumetric flow rate is at least 1.3.
  • the average volumetric flow rate is the achieved yield of tea beverage, measured in millimetres, divided by the time required for producing the beverage, measured in seconds. It has now surprisingly been found that if is ensured that the portion capsule does not become blocked and/or crack during tea production only if this lower limit is complied with.
  • This average volumetric flow rate is influenced, for example, by the swelling index of the tea granules, the weighed portion, the volume of the cavity and/or the particle size distribution, Dv50.
  • the Dv50 of the tea granules is preferably 300-1000, preferably 350-900 ⁇ m.
  • the swelling index of the tea granules is 1.8-4.0, preferably 2.0-3.8.
