Deeply saturated reddish-brown fountain pen ink with golden shimmer flakes. This ink comes in a sophisticated and timeless glass bottles with wax seals and caps.
It is said that J. Herbin was very fond of dried carob pods and that is the reason he lived so long! As the other merchants sailing the Mediterranean sea, he would pick them up in Cyprus, on his way back home. The carob bean is the fruit of the carob tree and was cultivated in the Mediterranean countries since ancient times. Carob pods are known for their great therapeutic properties and were marketed throughout Europe as the “black gold of Cyprus”.

Reddish Brown Shimmery Goodness
This is a reddish-brown with gold shimmer, very similar to Diamine Cocoa Shimmer. It is a bit dry and the flow can be somewhat inconsistent.

I will need to try several different papers to test for its sheen, but I am more than satisfied with Caroube de Chypre so far. view less

I find the shimmer and flow to be inconsistent, but when it works right, the result is pretty. Like the other 1670 inks, it is awfully garish.
