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.

The disclosure provides a water soluble pouch including at least two sealed compartments, the pouch including outer walls including water soluble film including a water soluble resin, and an inner wall including water soluble film including a water soluble resin, the outer wall films being sealed to the inner wall film, the outer wall films being characterized by: a dissolution time of 300 seconds or less, the water soluble resin of the outer wall films having a viscosity in a range of 14.5 cP to 25cP, and a pouch strength of at least 200 N, and the inner wall film being characterized by: a dissolution time of 300 seconds or less, the water soluble resin of the inner film having viscosity in a range of 12 cP to 14.5 cP, and a tackiness value of at least 1500 g/s.

A liquid-permeable container includes an enclosure that includes a liquid-permeable membrane. The liquid-permeable membrane permits liquid to enter into and exit from the enclosure at least through the liquid-permeable membrane. The liquid-permeable container also includes one or more polymer matrices that include one or more cannabinoid compounds. A package includes the liquid-permeable container and a water-resistant package enveloping the liquid-permeable container. Methods for manufacturing the liquid-permeable container and methods for preparing a beverage containing cannabinoids using the liquid-permeable container are also described.

A method for producing powderized cannabis oil, powderized cannabis oil, and edible products and beverages comprising the powderized cannabis oil. Powderized cannabis oil contains cannabis oil and maltodextrin in a ratio of at least three grams of maltodextrin for every one-eighth of a gram of cannabis oil. Edible products and beverages incorporating the powderized cannabis oil are human-consumable products that contain an emulsified, tasteless, and odorless dose of cannabis oil providing CBD, THC and/or THCA.

The present disclosure provides packaging materials and products including such as a multilayer structure comprising a base (X), a layer (Y), and a layer (Z), in which the layer (Y) and the layer (Z) are adjacently stacked in at least one pair of the layer (Y) and the layer (Z).

An apparatus and method are provided for storing and dispensing into a liquid a soluble substance, such as a flavoring, a body fuel, a nutritional supplement, a stimulant, a relaxant, an alcohol neutralizer, or a medical drug. A useful application of the subject invention includes a lime flavoring held by a gelatinous artificial lime wedge stored with a beer bottle or can, or attached to a 6-pack or 12-pack carton. The artificial lime wedge may be retrieved from a protective covering and acted upon so it mixes the lime flavoring into the beer when it is inserted into the beer bottle or can. Rather than needing to buy and store a perishable natural lime, and cut it up, an artificial lime wedge may be stored for an extended period of time with a beer vessel and placed in functional contact with the beer at time of consumption.
