Product Overview
Red Smoke Balls are a bold, full-bodied blend crafted for those who appreciate depth, richness, and a layered clay profile. Formed into compact 3–4 cm spheres, these pieces combine the grounding earthiness of red khadi with the iron-rich intensity of red Nakumatt, elevated by the subtle smokiness of roasted crumbs scattered throughout. Each ball delivers a firm, satisfying bite that breaks into a textured crumble, gradually releasing its complex flavour — earthy at the core, with metallic undertones and a gentle smoky finish. This is a well-balanced yet powerful combination, offering a deeply satisfying experience for those drawn to richer, more robust clays.

Storage Tips
To keep your clays and treats fresh, crunchy, and full of flavour, always store them in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from moisture, humidity, and strong odours. Exposure to air or dampness can alter both texture and taste.
We highly recommend using our stash boxes, available on the website — designed specifically to protect and organise your clay collection with ease.
