Kusmi Russian Morning Tea #24 (8.8oz.)

Founded in 1867 in Saint-Petersburg, Kusmi Teas are faithful to the spirit of the firm P.M Kousmichoff, supplier of the tsars of ancient Russia. In 1917 when the Revolution started in Russia, anticipating a disaster, the eldest Kusmichoff son transferred a part of his fortune to the London office and then created the Kusmi Tea company in France, based in Paris at 75 avenue Niel, where the company still has its workshop and boutique.

Kousmichoff has been carrying on the same tradition of serving connoisseurs and gourmets, combining discerning taste and creativity. Well known for their superb flavor and smootheness, they are distributed throughout the world in the most fashionable and exclusive places. Kusmi teas share all the complexity and subtlety of ancient Russia.

Russian Morning No. 24 is a blend of black China, Ceylon and India teas. Perfect for breakfast.

Each tin contains 8.8 ounces net weight of Russian Morning No. 24 Loose Tea blend by Kusmi Tea from France.

  • 1/2 cup mascarpone cheese

  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

In a large pot, bring 4 quarts of salted water to a boil. Add the fava beans and cook until tender, about 2 minutes. Ladle the beans out of the water and set aside until they are cool enough to handle, then remove and discard their skins.

Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook until al dente. Meanwhile, in a large bowl mix together the lemon cream, mascarpone cheese, olive oil, salt, and pepper until smooth. When the pasta is cooked, drain and add to the bowl with the lemon cream mixture. Toss and serve, topped with Parmigiano-Reggiano shavings.

Note: If fresh fava beans are not available, try using dried fava beans which will need to be soaked or boiled ahead of time.

Orzo by Rustichella d’Abruzzo

Orzo by Rustichella d’Abruzzo

Artisan pasta maker Gianluigi Peduzzi maintains the proud Rustichella d’Abruzzo tradition started by his grandfather in the early 1900s. Italians know the finest pasta comes from Abruzzo, east of Rome. Durum wheat flourishes in the salty Adriatic breezes and water from pure mountain water used in the pasta making is said to work magic. It is here that the Rustichella d’Abruzzo tradition grows, producing all natural, artisinal pastas superior flavor, texture, and yeild.

Peduzzi makes his pasta from two natural ingredients: stone ground durum flour from hard winter wheat, and pure spring water. When extruded through hand carved bronze dies, some of which date from the 19th-century, the resulting rustic texture holds the sauces beautifully, much better than mass produced pasta. Rustichella d’Abruzzo pasta is air dried for a crucial 56 hours, which creates a dense, flavorful pasta that cooks perfectly al dente. Because of the density of the pasta, many chefs find that the yield per pound is greater than commercially made pasta.

Present almost everywhere in Italy, and quite often in Greek dishes, rice-shaped Orzo is great in soups or as a side dish.

Each bag contains approximately 1.1 pounds (500 gr.) of durum wheat semolina Orzo by Rustichella d’Abruzzo imported from Italy.
