J. Herbin 1670 Anniversary Bottled Ink in Caroube de Chypre - 15 mL

Celebrate heritage and tradition with J. Herbin 1670 Caroube de Chypre, a deep brown ink enhanced with subtle red reflections and luminous gold shimmer. In the early 1700s, M. Herbin created the “Jewel of Inks” in his Paris shop on the Rue des Fosses Saint-Germain, establishing the Herbin name as the oldest in fine pen inks.

Part of the 1670 Anniversary Ink Collection, Caroube de Chypre is inspired by Jacques Herbin’s seafaring voyages across the Mediterranean. It is said that Herbin enjoyed dried carob pods as a nourishing food during his travels, trading for them in Cyprus where carob trees have been cultivated since ancient times. Known for their therapeutic qualities, carob pods were once referred to as the “black gold of Cyprus,” a legacy reflected in this ink’s rich, earthy tone.

Crafted with all-natural dyes and a pH-neutral formula, Caroube de Chypre offers a smooth and expressive writing experience for fountain pens. Presented in a 15 mL glass bottle sealed with hand-dipped wax, this anniversary ink embodies centuries of craftsmanship, exploration, and Parisian elegance.

Bring warmth, history, and a touch of golden shimmer to your writing with J. Herbin 1670 Caroube de Chypre.
