Flashy Umbrella Tea Infusers

This Tea Infuser Does Less Storm Protection and More Coffee Creation

— February 10, 2014 — Lifestyle
This umbrella tea infuser weathers the storm of intense caffeine cravings. While this umbrella won't protect you much in the rain, it will give you some delicious tea.

Tea infusers are a surprise innovation that are blowing up very quickly. What used to be the job of tea bags and a spoon have quickly shifted focus. Artistically designed tea infusers are a fun find for caffeine lovers everywhere. They aren't just there to look pretty though, and this tea infuser does the job right and looks good too.

This umbrella tea infuser has holes in the top, which is also where the tea itself is stored. All the user has to do is put the top of the umbrella in boiling water and let the umbrella do its thing.
