The story of this blend
The name is a trick, and the tanuki is pleased with it. He whispered this blend at midnight to a sack of Ceylon black tea, and hid cacao, star anise and vanilla bean inside while no one was looking. Then he told everyone it was for the afternoon, which is true. He leaves a pouch on doorsteps and does not knock.
