Add the tea leaves, remove from the heat and allow to infuse for about 3 to 4 minutes, tasting the liquid frequently during that time to gauge the intensity of the flavor of the liquid. Depending on the quality and freshness of the tea, the infusion time can vary. Do not allow the tea to become bitter or tannic. Pass the liquid through a fine meshed sieve and return the liquid to a clean saucepan. Add sugar and gingerroot. Bring to a simmer and carefully add the sliced fruit. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook, covered, until the fruit is tender but slightly crisp. The fruit should retain its pleasantly granular texture. This may take up to 30 minutes. When done, remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the fruit to cool in the liquid. When cool, remove the fruit and cook the poaching liquid over medium high heat until it is of coating consistency. Watch carefully to avoid burning. Allow the sauce to cool.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn a small bowl, blend the yogurt, buttermilk and maple syrup until smooth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSauce each plate with a small amount of the reduced poaching liquid. Arrange the fruit on top of the sauce. Drizzle remaining sauce on the fruit. Spoon the yogurt-buttermilk mixture over the fruit. Scatter pistachios over all.
