Details
“A vibrant red kaolin with a satisfying crunchy-to-creamy bite and a wet-clay-brick flavour.”
Chinese Red Clay, also known as red kaolin or Geru clay, is a bold, vibrant-red clay sourced from China. Each solid piece delivers a strikingly strong topsoil flavour reminiscent of wet red clay bricks or soil after rain, with a satisfying initial crunch that softens into a creamy, slightly sticky texture on the tongue. As a natural product, batch-to-batch variation is expected, making every piece a slightly different sensory experience.
