  • Publication number: 20250169640
    Abstract: Systems and devices for creating an infused liquid, for example using tea leaves, including a vessel having a base and a wall extending up from the base to a first height, wherein an interior surface of the wall defines a substantially cylindrical internal volume having a first diameter and substantially the first height and an exterior surface of the wall has a second diameter at an upper extent of the wall and a third diameter proximate to the base, wherein the third diameter is greater than the second diameter and the exterior surface of the wall gradually increases in diameter from the second diameter to the third diameter. The first height may be less than the first diameter. The vessel may have a spout and handle. The systems and devices may comprise a lid for the vessel, a plunger through the lid, and a strainer assembly coupled with the plunger.

  • Publication number: 20220227538
    Abstract: A flavorant composition and sleeve and tray assembly for storing same may include a transparent sleeve having a rectangular geometry and defining a cavity between sidewalls and end walls. A transparent tray may be disposed within the cavity. A plurality of cubes may include a flavorant with a surface texture of the flavorant is visible through the tray and the sleeve. The tray may be visually obscured by the sleeve and the surface texture of the flavorant. The transparent tray may include a base, a first sidewall extending from a first edge of the base, a second sidewall extending from a second edge of the base opposite the first edge, and an end stop extending from a third edge of the base extending between the first edge and the second edge, wherein the base, the first sidewall, and the second sidewall define a channel terminated by the end stop.
