"A gentle slate snap with warm red earth and fresh petrichor in every crumble"
Description
Red Slate Sticks are a natural Indian slate clay known for their soft crunchy texture and iron-rich mineral flavour profile. These handcrafted elongated sticks are made from finely milled Red Slate powder with added slate crumbs, creating a beautifully balanced sensory experience with a gentle snap and satisfying crumble. Each stick delivers notes of warm red earth, fresh petrichor, mineral dust, damp basement, and sun-baked stone, with a subtle metallic finish from the naturally iron-rich slate. The texture offers a clean, dry crumble with delicate crunchy accents from the slate crumbs, making them ideal for those who enjoy softer slate varieties with authentic earthy depth. Traditionally inspired by India's long-standing appreciation of mineral-rich slate and shale clays.
