A cartridge (1) for controlled brewing of loose-leaf tea in a cup, comprising an infusion chamber (2) for containing loose tea leaves (3) and infusing a liquid with substances from the tea leaves to brew tea. A chamber wall (20) impervious to the liquid defines the infusion chamber. In the chamber wall is a passage (21) between the infusion chamber and an exterior (5) thereof. The passage has an open state in which the infusion chamber is in liquid communication with the exterior, to transport the substances from the infusion chamber into liquid in the exterior during brewing tea. In a close state the infusion chamber inside is closed off from liquid in the exterior to stop a concentration of the substances in the liquid in the exterior from increasing. A manual control manually controllable by a human-being allows to bring the passage from the open state into the closed state.

A device to provide in-line flavor for water or other liquid stored in a container. An example device includes a body having a cylindrical shape chamber formed therein, and an opening on a first end of the body. A cartridge holder fits within the chamber of the body and retains a flavoring therein for the water or other liquid. The cartridge holder has a plurality of openings for the water or other liquid to flow through. When a user drinks from the drinking end, the water or other liquid flows from the container and through the housing and mixes with a flavoring from the cartridge holder before being drawn through to the drinking end so that the user drinks a flavored water or other liquid.

The present invention relates to a cap (1) for sealing the restrictor (51) of a container (50), such as a flask or a bottle, the cap (1) being suitable for containing a fluid, said cap comprising at least a first part (10) and a second part (20), said first and second parts (10, 20) delimiting a chamber (15) for receiving said fluid, said first and second parts (10, 20) being movable, by means of displacement, from a first, initial position of the cap (1), for containing said fluid in said chamber (15), to a second, final position of said cap (1), in order to evacuate, by means of said displacement, said fluid from said chamber (15) of the cap (1), to allow said cap (1) to transfer the fluid into the container (50) when the cap (1) is positioned on the container (50), said cap (1) comprising an additional element (30) movable from a first position, which is suitable for allowing the evacuation of air from the container (50), to a second position which is suitable, together with said first part (10) and/or second part (20) of the cap (1), for sealing said restrictor (51) of the container (50).

The disclosure relates to a drinking device that comprises two separate compartments, a first compartment for holding a flavored beverage or a flavoring agent for reconstituting the flavored beverage and a second compartment for holding an unflavored or weakly favored beverage, and a switching mechanism that allows for the sequential consumption of beverage from the first and the second compartment such that a subject ingests, in the course of each drinking event, first a volume of the flavored beverage and thereafter a volume of the unflavored or weakly favored beverage. Drinking from the device conveys to the subject a sensory experience that is similar to that produced by a typical uniformly flavored beverage even though it only consumed a fraction of the amount of flavoring agent that it would have consumed from drinking an equivalent volume of the uniformly flavored beverage.

Systems and methods for preserving oxidizable substances such as liquids or foodstuffs are disclosed. These systems incorporate a sealing device and an oxygen scavenging chemical or agent coupleable to the system. The oxygen scavenging agent can remove the oxygen from the headspace of a container such as a bottle of wine without reducing the pressure in the headspace to the extent that the flavor of the wine is adversely affected.
