Method for preparing a beverage from a capsule

Abstract

A method for preparing a beverage through a capsule (2) inserted in a beverage machine; the capsule comprising an enclosure (20) containing one or more beverage ingredients, wherein a brewing fluid is introduced in the enclosure to brew the said one or more beverage ingredients, wherein a brewed liquid is filtered by a filtering wall (22) and delivered from the capsule, wherein the filtering wall extends from substantially the bottom of the enclosure and said filtering wall is associated to an overflow wall (3) that forces the brewed liquid to traverse at least one overflow aperture (25). The method is particularly suitable for brewing a tea containing capsule.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method of preparing and delivering a beverage from a capsule containing one or more beverage ingredients. The present invention is more particularly directed to a method of brewing / brewing tea from a capsule and a beverage machine, although other beverages can also be successfully brewed by this method. Background technique [0002] Different beverage preparation methods are known using capsules to be brewed in suitable beverage machines. However, there is no method by which high quality tea beverages can be delivered from capsules containing leaf tea products. [0003] The quality of tea beverages depends largely on the quality of the leaf tea components, i.e. the background origin of the tea (soil, drying, blending, etc.) and storage conditions. For example, tea ingredients are generally sensitive to oxygen and light. Preferred tea ingredients are obtained from loose leaves that have been cut or broken into small...
