Bixby Blaze Salt 

In the quiet between sea and sky, where mist rises from the cliffs and the air tastes of adventure, we crafted this blend.

Smoked citrus whispers with the salt of the ocean, while the warmth of sunset fire lingers in the air.

Bixby Blaze is the essence of the wild coast — a fleeting moment of beauty, fire, and the sea, captured in every grain.

"Born of fire, fog, and the restless sea."

Sun-cracked blood oranges, steeped in smoked rye whiskey, weave through the heat of red jalapeño and the bright whisper of grapefruit. Sea salt carries the breath of Pacific tides, tangled with wild kelp and thyme. Waves of smoked coriander seed, white pepper, and sumac splash against the deep roots of onion, garlic, and sweet paprika. A drop of white vinegar sharpens the edges — a brine of memory, a bite of the wild coast.

Every crystal a reckoning of Big Sur's raw beauty — salt, the brooding smoke of coastal fog, citrus, and sunset flame.
