The O'Cha Tea Capsule Lets You Conveniently Create On-the-Go Infusions

— November 20, 2013 — Art & Design
The lug-a-mug practice hasn't seemed to have caught on quite like the environmentally conscious had hoped. The O'Cha Tea Capsule caters to the fact that people appear to be much more accustomed to carrying canteens around than portable coffee mugs.

This concept is a hybrid water bottle and tea infuser that can still be used simply as the former. Should you want a hot or an iced tea, however, a few easy steps will prepare you for a fresh brew just about anywhere.

Basically, take any standard plastic water bottle and swap its cap out for the O'Cha Tea Capsule. In this, you will have stored a lovely blend of loose leaf. Once the little filtering doodad has been attached, just shake the container and you'll have a beautifully flavored beverage.
Trend Themes
1. Infusion-on-the-go - The trend of creating and consuming on-the-go infusions, using portable and convenient solutions.
2. Hybrid Bottles - The trend of creating water bottles that can also be used as another type of beverage infuser, providing consumers with multifunctional solutions.
3. Replacement Capsules - The trend of creating replacement caps for water bottles that add value and functionality to the original product, promoting reuse and sustainability.
Industry Implications
1. Beverage Industry - Beverage companies can innovate by creating portable and efficient solutions to provide consumers with on-the-go infusions. Research and development of hybrid beverages that can be brewed and consumed from the same container.
2. Packaging Industry - The packaging industry can benefit from the trend of replacement caps by creating more sustainable solutions like the O'Cha Tea Capsule, promoting the reuse of plastic water bottles instead of single-use bottles.
3. Travel Industry - The travel industry can tap into the infusion-on-the-go trend, creating travel-friendly and eco-conscious alternatives to tea bags or instant coffee, providing tourists and adventurers with a cultural, immersive experience.
