Ink Review #520: Taccia Tsuchi Golden Wheat

Our next Taccia ink is Golden Wheat. Thanks to Pen Chalet for sending a sample over for review.

The color:

Tsuchi Golden Wheat is a gorgeous medium golden brown.

Swabs:

In large swabs the ink looks flat and dark.

Writing samples:

Let's take a look at how the ink behaves on fountain pen friendly papers: Rhodia, Tomoe River, and Leuchtturm.

Dry time: 30 seconds

Water resistance: Low

Feathering: None

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: None

Other properties: high shading, no sheen, and no shimmer.

On Staples 24 lb copy paper there was feathering in the larger nib sizes and bleeding in the flex nib.

Comparison Swabs:

Golden Wheat is closest to Robert Oster Caffe Crema, but I really don’t have a good match. Click here to see the Taccia inks together.

Longer writing:

I used a medium Pelikan M400 White Tortoise on Tomoe River 68gsm. The ink had a wet flow.

Overall, I really love the color and shading this ink has. It’s beautiful, I’m adding a full bottle to my wish list.
