The bottled ink for fountain pens completes the collection with an original color we created to celebrate each tea flavor.

Teatime Around the World #3 Inspired by Moroccan Mint Tea
The third collection of the Teatime Around the World series is Moroccan Mint Tea.
In Morocco, mint tea is an integral part of daily life. It is prepared respecting the ritual, steeping green tea and mint in a teapot and sweetening it with sugar.
It is also a symbol of Moroccan hospitality. When entertaining guests, the tea is prepared in a traditional metal teapot called berad and served in kissan glasses adorned with beautifully exotic patterns.

Inspiration for the Ink Color
The tea commonly used in preparing Moroccan mint tea is Chinese green tea. Before tea entered Moroccan culture, mint infused in hot water was the widely enjoyed drink.
When British merchants introduced Chinese tea to Morocco, tea was added to the popular mint infusion, giving birth to Moroccan mint tea.
Over time, this hybrid teatime culture flourished into a symbol of the Moroccan way of life and hospitality.
