Drinking device

Abstract

The invention relates to a drinking device for the retronasal perception of an aroma substance. The drinking device comprises a liquid reservoir that is fillable with drinking liquid, a mouthpiece with a mouth end, a transport tube for drinking liquid with an inner cavity which provides a flow connection between the liquid reservoir and the mouth end of the mouthpiece, and an aroma container for adding an aroma substance to an air flow flowing through the aroma container. The aroma container includes at least one air outlet opening which is in flow connection either with at least one aroma inlet opening into the inner cavity of the transport tube or in flow connection with an aroma channel extending up to the mouth end of the mouthpiece. The liquid reservoir may include an attachment that is to be attached to the body or clothing of a user or to a bag to be worn on the body. The transport tube may have a length of at least 15 cm and preferably a length of at least 20 cm.
