Paper & pairing
Purples sit at the boundary of professional and playful, one of the more personality-forward choices that still reads clearly on the page. This ink will behave predictably on most fountain-pen-friendly paper. Cheap, highly absorbent paper (standard copier paper) will dull any ink's saturation and can cause feathering or bleed-through with wetter nibs.
About New Brew
New Brew is an independent Philippine fountain pen ink brand created by young ink maker Marcuz Bryant Cortez, who began blending inks after getting into the fountain pen hobby. The brand hand-produces bottled inks in dozens of colors with playful names such as Chocnut, Blurple and Diesel. Its inks are sold mainly through Philippine channels such as Shopee and Lazada and via its Instagram shop.
Storing and using the bottle
Bottled fountain pen ink has an effectively long shelf life when kept capped and out of direct sunlight: most inks remain usable for years. The main risk isn't the ink spoiling, it's a pen sitting inked and unused for weeks: that's what causes clogs, not the ink's age.
