This blend begins with tiger eye, because I can't resist calling back to Maud, his wife, calling him tiger in the show! I've added cream and chocolate to further enhance the dessert nature of this tea to highlight this sweet postman who makes small talk in war zones, doesn't let weird otherworldly beings faze him, and stops only to write a note to tell his wife he loves her before finishing his job to the end. His dedication brings to mind the (corroded) motto over the post office in Pratchett's Discworld series: "NEITHER RAIN NOR SNOW NOR GLOM OF NIT CAN STAY THESE MESSENGERS ABOUT THEIR DUTY".
