It's yellow-olive in the written line and a deeper moss green where it pools. It's often described as a grassy green with brown undertones, but on my swatches it reads more olive than grassy, and the \"brown\" shows up mainly as a dark plum-brown edge on heavy pools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShading: \u003c\/strong\u003eGood.

There are 16 inks in the series, each named after a drink, from Cherry Coke to Misutgaru, a Korean roasted-grain drink. The bottle label spells it \"Malcha Latte\", which is the Korean romanisation of 말차 (matcha). The label also carries a drippy matcha-cup illustration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis is a hand-decanted 4ml sample vial from my own bottle.\u003cbr\u003ePhotos are my own swatches on Tomoe River Paper.\u003cbr\u003eI'm a collector and I'm always happy to talk ink, so please message me if you have any questions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sailor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57266212929862,"sku":"INK-064","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1020\/9696\/1862\/files\/SailorxBlueBlack-MatchaLatte3.jpg?v=1789857013","url":"https:\/\/thepensmuggler.co.uk\/products\/sailor-x-blueblack-matcha-latte","provider":"The Pen Smuggler","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
