It is said J. Herbin was fond of dried carob pods as a healthy food during his voyages. As with other merchants, he traded or purchased them in Cyprus.
Carob trees have been cultivated in Mediterranean countries since ancient times. Carob pods were known for their therapeutic properties and were marketed throughout Europe as the “black gold of Cyprus.”
This new anniversary ink is called “Caroube de Chypre” – Cyprus Carob – because of its deep brown color. Caroube de Chypre is a dark brown ink with light red reflections and sparkling gold effect.
The 1670 line was originally launched to celebrate J Herbin's 340th anniversary. This rich deep dye ink will bring brightness and majesty to all your writing!
It comes as a 50ml bottle with a wax sealed top.
Made in France by J Herbin.
