  • Publication number: 20170119196
    Abstract: A thermo tea maker includes a tea cup and a tea infuser. The exterior of the tea cup has a first isolation gap in a vacuum state to block the heat conduction from an inner part to an outer part of the cup part. The exterior of the tea infuser has a second isolation gap in a vacuum state to block the heat conduction from an inner segment to an outer segment of the tea infuser. The tea cup and the tea infuser are able to keep the tea warm. When the tea infuser is turned, the tea infuser will not scald the user's hand.

  • Publication number: 20160360918
    Abstract: A rotary tea maker includes a tea cup and a tea infuser. After the tea is brewed in a tea brewing room of the tea infuser, through rotation of the tea infuser, the tea is discharged from the tea brewing room to be stored in a tea room of the tea cup for use. The tea in the tea brewing room flows to a passage from a water outlet of the tea infuser and then enters the tea room from a through hole of the tea cup. During the process, the air in the tea room is expelled to the passage from the through hole when the tea is poured and then flows to the tea brewing room through an air hole of an air pipe of the tea infuser, so that the tea in the tea brewing room can be discharged to the tea room smoothly.
