As its name implies, Ruby Black Tea has amber-red liquor with golden lining. The strong aroma is enriching, while the taste is smoothly honey-sweet in reminiscence of spring in full bloom with diligent bees flying around.
Lennon Tool Bar standard inks come in two lines: Indigo Color and Formosa Color. The Indigo Color is inspired by "aizome," or Indigo Dyed textiles, and the colors represent the different shades of blue throughout the process. The Formosa Color is inspired by places in Taiwan. This is a special ink series inspired by the classic Taiwan teas to remind you of slowing down the pace. Use these colors to write your stories, and you could have a sip of the sweet aftertaste of life just as you are drinking Taiwan teas.

About Lennon Tool Bar:
Lennon Tool Bar was founded in 2014 at Tamsui, Taiwan. Initially, it started to promote arts and crafts of Indigo Dyeing, a business that flourished a century ago in Taiwan, and at the time, Taiwan exported a considerable amount of "doroai," or the raw material of colorants used in Indigo Dyeing, to the Japanese Empire. Lennon Tool Bar draws inspiration from the traditional process and the popular colors used in Indigo Dyeing.
I've been wanting to try Lennon Tool Bar for a while now, and I saw this unique ink and fell in love! It writes almost just like a beautiful fruity tea, but shows up even more legibly of course. It writes really wet too, so it flows beautifully onto the page. I have it in a broad nib in a custom made pen, so the shading colors show up easily and are so delightful. This is a new favorite that I'll have regularly inked in a pen all the time!
Beautiful, unique color. A little drier than other Lennon tool bar inks but such a great ink brand!
I'm always on the hunt for interesting muted browns and this one is great, it flows nicely and the color is unique in my collection. Absolutely love this ink any time of year but it also very nearly matches September in the Hobonichi Cousin once it dries down! I have a sample but am already plotting my purchase of a full bottle.
It’s a beautiful color and it makes me nostalgic as I’m a Taiwanese American and in my household we often drink tea so when I see the shade of red in the brown it reminds me of the black tea I brewed with the tea leaves from Taiwan.
Beautiful color!
