Mount Everest Tea Umbrella Infuser for Professional Brewing

A tea umbrella infuser expands loose-leaf tea within a pot or urn, letting water circulate freely through the leaves. Unlike a closed ball or basket, the open ribs of the umbrella hold the leaves apart so they unfurl completely. This exposes the maximum surface area to the water, drawing out colour, aroma and flavour evenly without trapping fine particles inside a mesh. The result is a cleaner, fuller infusion that professional kitchens can repeat batch after batch without clogging or uneven steeping.

To use the infuser, open the umbrella ribs by pressing the central hub. Place the measured loose leaves onto the ribs, then close the hub to secure them. Lower the infuser into the hot water, ensuring the leaves are fully submerged. After the required steeping time, lift the infuser out, allowing the water to drain through the gaps between the ribs. The leaves remain contained, leaving the brewed tea clear and ready to serve.

The construction is a single piece of food-safe stainless steel, formed into thin ribs that flex without breaking. The hub is solid and smooth, designed to be gripped with a gloved hand or a utensil when the water is hot. There are no moving parts to wear or disassemble, so the infuser withstands repeated use in a busy kitchen environment.

This umbrella infuser fits standard catering pots and urns, allowing loose-leaf tea to be brewed directly in the vessel that will serve it. The open design means no additional straining is needed, saving time and equipment during service.

The catalogue places this item under Tea & Coffee Equipment, alongside urns, samovars and loose-leaf dispensers.
