Russia – RU049A
Composition: Clay
Colour: Mixed
Shape: Raw
The Jasper Clay has a beautiful red color and is soft, practically does not crunch. It dissolves immediately into gruel. The taste is sweet and dusty. Smooth bits, bites effortlessly, with a dull crunch, and at first soft grains and dissolves immediately. It originates in the Orenburg region.
Very lovely texture to bite, vanilla taste, reminds me of raw cookie dough
Dit smaakt een beetje naar schuim/calcium. Heeft een harde korrelige structuur
Amazing that clay can taste fresh, like fresh water.
I choose it by colour, so soft, warm and a bit chalky. On my tongue its first cold-ish metal. and than its travelling, a warmer taste, still metaly, but also like a warm dish in winter, very soothing and comfortabel. The earth taste like there is a layer on top and a layer underneath. So very protected. I guess I taste protection and safety. Its also a transition of metal to muddy. My tongue, moth wished it can take a big portion; just to see if you can make a small clay “sculture” in my mouth.
