Bungubox Ink Tells More Calvados is an iron gall fountain pen ink inspired by Calvados, the renowned French apple brandy celebrated for its rich aroma and deep, complex character.
At first contact with the page, the ink appears as a bright, lively orange. As you continue writing and the ink dries, it gradually shifts into a warm, settled brown, reminiscent of aged Calvados brandy. This visible transformation unfolds naturally, adding depth and personality to every line.
As a classic iron gall ink, color evolution is one of its defining traits. The way the shade develops can vary depending on the paper, creating subtle differences that make each writing experience unique.
Thanks to its formulation, Bungubox Ink Tells More Calvados offers excellent water and light resistance, making it suitable for writing meant to endure. An ink designed for slow, reflective moments, best enjoyed without haste.
What is an iron gall ink?
Iron gall inks are water-based inks made from plant-derived tannins combined with iron salts. After writing, the ink penetrates the paper and oxidizes, resulting in durable lines and a characteristic darkening as it dries.
Usage recommendations
As this is an iron gall ink, we recommend cleaning your fountain pen regularly. Do not leave the pen filled with ink for extended periods. If you do not plan to use it for a while, please drain the ink, clean the pen thoroughly, and store it clean and dry.
