It is the note that separates this blend from every other one we make. Patchouli sits underneath it, dry and faintly sweet once it warms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere the name comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe resting-flesh pill.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe name comes out of the Unofficial Biography of Zhao Feiyan, a Tang-dynasty romance about the Han court. Not a history — a story, and one people liked well enough to keep retelling for a thousand years. In it the pill belongs to Zhao Hede, consort to Emperor Cheng, and it is the kind of detail a writer invents to show how far a court will go.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe have borrowed the name for the blend.
