Tea Poached Pears with Kesar Rabdi Sauce is a delicious fusion dessert. It is an innovative tea recipe, a great way to incorporate new flavors into desserts. Here is how to make it.

A fresh and hot cup of tea is sure to pick your mood up. India is one of the major producers of tea, its areas such as Darjeeling and Assam produce world-renowned teas. Drinking tea is centuries old legacy and tradition in India, we have all grown up drinking tea on a daily basis. Why not also look at an innovative tea recipe, a twist to make your desserts extra flavourful.

It takes a lot, to bring teas from the tea gardens to brew in your cups. From plucking the leaves to profiling, processing, packing, storing, export and import logistics and finally to retailing, before you and I can get our hands on the tea.

No wonder that by the time we get the tea it is already more than six months old. Whenever I visit the tea gardens on my vacations and travels, I for sure pick up the fresh tea from the factory shops. The taste and aroma of fresh tea is so much different to a packaged tea.

Now there a specialised company like Teabox who are working hard to make sure that we can get our supplies of fresh tea all round the year. They are able to do this by investing in right sourcing in the hills of Darjeeling, Assam and Nilgiri's, cutting down the number of echelons in the supply chain and directly connecting the tea gardens to consumers like you and me.

To keep their tea's fresh, they have setup India's first cold storage for tea maintaining just the right temperature and humidity levels to keep the tea fresh. The tea is finally vacuum packed and delivered to customers within a week of the leaves getting plucked from the gardens.

Now that we have Teabox we all can enjoy our tea's fresh, and enjoy with some nice memories to share. There are quite a few regular and flavoured teas available at Teabox, right from black, green, white, blends, organic, breakfast etc. As we are getting into a festive season, I used Spice Sparkler Tea to make something out of ordinary.

This is a great way to incorporate new flavours into a traditional Diwali dish. So I made Spice Sparkler Tea poached Pears with Kesar Rabdi Sauce.

The tea has fiery flavours of spices including ginger, red peppers, cardamom and black peppers. The poached pears come out with a perfect dark reddish brown colour and combines amazingly well with Kesar Rabdi. This recipe is simple to make and is going to be a winner this festive season. So here is a recipe for Spice Sparkler Tea poached Pears with Kesar Rabdi Sauce.
