Details
Montana Coal by Taste Montana is a rare, hand-foraged edible clay collected from a soft coal vein in Montana, USA. This unique variety of coal has undergone minimal coalification, resulting in soft, crumbly, and compact black discs with a fatty, full-bodied structure that turns into a textured slush as you chew. Each piece is coated with a fine black powder, delivering a satisfying crunch without grit or stickiness.
The flavour is a complex, layered experience: it begins with subtle paper tones, followed by hints of gasoline, earthy dirt, and a mild rainy aroma. The finish surprises with bright lemon-citrus notes, adding a zingy, uplifting twist to the robust earthiness. Montana Coal offers brilliant crunch and bite, making it a fascinating and highly tactile clay for connoisseurs.

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.
Handling Guidelines
- clean, dry hands.
- wooden spoon included with your order
Fragility Disclaimer
All clay treats and terracotta pot products are handmade and naturally fragile, making them susceptible to breakage during delivery.
While we take great care in packing each item securely, minor cracks, chips, or crumbled pieces may occur. This is a natural part of working with handcrafted clays and does not affect taste or enjoyment.
To help, every order includes a wooden spoon — ideal for enjoying broken pieces or powder just as deliciously as the whole form.
