Lie de Thé
Lie de Thé (Tea Dregs, in the less romantic English) is a writing ink made by Jacques Herbin.
It's a nice shade of brown, slightly more on the yellow than red side. Contrast with their slightly redder Café des Îles.
Personally, it's a bit too dark yellow for my liking. I much prefer the deeper reddish tint of Café des Îles, or even Diamine's lighter Sepia.
