Robert Oster - Tea Time

Robert Oster - Tea Time ink splash

Tea Time is from the six-ink Cozy Comforts series from Robert Oster. The series was designed by @micahfinds through the Hatch creative program and was available at Endless Pens. While Campfire Crackle is still available in an individual bottle, Tea Time and the full set are sold out (at least for now).

If you regularly read my reviews, you might know that I prefer verdant greens to emerald greens. Tea Time is a great example of my kind of green. It’s an interesting deep olive with nice, strong yellow highlights in shading. On some papers, it picks up a dusty, matte appearance that restrains the yellow undertones a bit. On others, they sing loudly and give the final result a brightness that accentuates the base and shading colors. The shading really makes this ink a star.

Like most Robert Oster inks, writing performance has been excellent in appearance. In most cases, written strokes have been clean and sharp, as you can see. As for flow and feel, this is a neutral to slightly wet ink. It provides a very nice writing experience. Drying was quick, too. I haven’t seen any bottle or nib crusting that sometimes haunts these types of greens. Great ink!
