The story of this blend
There is a hollow redwood where travellers shelter from the rain. The tanuki keeps a fire there and one chair nearer to it than the rest. He whispered this blend to the embers: roasted mate, rooibos, cacao, orange peel and a cut of vanilla. The chair is for whoever arrives coldest. He has never once sat in it himself.
