Green Tea - Bung Box

[visvamitra]

Bung Box is japanese retailer. They offer wide variety of pens and inks. Also Sailor makes some exclusives for them.

White Lotos (You can check her review here ) sent me sample of Bung Box 88 Green Tea ink. Thank you a lot!

The bottle as presented on BBsite looks nice.

In real life however I find this ink rather bland. It's more on a dry side, the lubrication is less than average, and it shows absolutely none waterproofness. The color isn't bad, I like such hues, however you'll find easily inks that are cheaper and better than this one.

Thanks for the review. I like all these Bung Box inks—this is not one of my favorites, though.

I love the olive tone of this ink! Thanks for your review.

 

Just wish these inks were not so difficult to obtain.

That's a pretty color. Looks very much like Green Tea.

Thanks for the great review!

Hmmmm. Sort of a Sahara shade. Nice to know it runs dry. I can stop wanting it.
