I love the colors of the Monteverde Sweet Life. I've purchased both the Blueberry Muffin and Pumpkin Cake (perfect for this time of year). The ink pigment is strong, the writing is smooth and the flow is consistent. I find that I do not have to spend any time to "restart" my pens if I haven't been writing for a few days with them, when I use this ink (I currently only have a couple of Monteverde pens).

Out of the bottle the ink was fine in my pen. It's a bit of an odd color but I wanted a yellow/orange for some diversity. Flows well, hasn't clogged my Monteverdi ID Flex nib. Haven't tested for any permanence or waterproof, don't believe it is either. If you're looking for this color you could do worse.

Nice ink. I like this brand overall. For the price you can't go wrong. This is fireopal. It's very similar to ancient copper in Diamine.

Ah yes... the Sweet Life..... how sweet it is. You'll get addicted to these truly sweet inks. The Monteverde Sweet Life "Key Lime Pie" is one of the best "glowing" light green inks available. Your choice of nibs will dictate the color depth and amount of wonderful shading that you'll enjoy. An X Fine or Fine nib will allow for moderate shading and the lightest of tones to show while a medium nib will deepen the tone and with a slower pen stoke you see rich saturated solid tone. I think I'm enjoying it most with a medium nib. This ink is easy to control, easy to manipulate and works with a wide variety of pen and nib choices. Key Lime Pie has excellent lubrication, flow characteristics and with a medium drying time, its on my top 10 list of favorite green inks. There are many other similar shades of this color ink available from many manufactures but you can't beat the price and performance on this one. This is a very good value. If you like this ink, you'll love the other shades.... they're all super tasty.

A wonderful shade of ink - my personal finalist from about seven different choices - and it looks so good when I write with it. I picked it to be paired with my new Sailor 2021 Pen of the Year - and I have to keep from wanting to lick the nib as it looks like I am writing with a nice Napa Burgundy wine. Thanks Pen Shelly - oops! - Pen Chalet!

Bought the California Teal for its praised sheen quality, it did not disappoint. Beautiful color with some nice shading attributes and a glorious reddish, purple sheen that is quite without peer, mind on quality smooth papers. Though Tomoe shows it best, beautiful sheen and shading on Clairefontaine, Rhodia or smooth Japanese papers. If it's what you're looking for, try a sample or 30ml bottle - it's all that and a bag of chips.

I needed a basic summer blue ink and this was in stock and a good price. I am very pleased with the color and performance of this ink. It flows well without being too runny. Very happy with my purchase.
