Cinnamon 101

Not all cinnamon is Ceylon cinnamon.

Most cinnamon sold today is cassia cinnamon — a darker, stronger bark commonly labeled simply as “cinnamon.” True Ceylon cinnamon, also known as Cinnamomum verum, is the softer, lighter cinnamon traditionally grown in Sri Lanka and hand-rolled into delicate quills.

What we make

True Ceylon

Cinnamomum verum — traditionally grown in Sri Lanka and hand-rolled into delicate, layered quills.

  • Thin, layered Ceylon cinnamon quills
  • Delicate, naturally sweet flavour
  • Naturally lower in coumarin
  • Single-origin Sri Lankan cinnamon
  • Whole quills, batch-tested for coumarin

Commonly sold as cinnamon

Cassia

A darker, stronger cassia cinnamon, often sold simply as “cinnamon,” without clear species detail.

  • Thicker, harder bark
  • Bolder, spicier flavour
  • Naturally higher in coumarin
  • Often sold without clear species detail
  • Usually less specific on origin

That’s why True Ceylon sources whole Ceylon cinnamon quills from one Sri Lankan estate, then batch-tests for coumarin before they reach Amazon.

The Estate

Where True Ceylon begins.

True Ceylon starts at Southwinds Estate in southern Sri Lanka, where Ceylon cinnamon is grown, peeled, and hand-rolled into delicate whole quills. Each tin begins with a real place, a traceable harvest, and quills shaped by hand — not anonymous mixed-origin supply.

Grown in Sri Lanka

Sourced from one traceable estate in southern Sri Lanka.

Hand-rolled quills

Peeled, layered, and rolled by hand into thin Ceylon cinnamon quills.

Whole, not powdered

Sold as whole quills to preserve aroma, flavour, and the structure of the hand-rolled quill.

In the Kitchen

Whole quills for everyday kitchens.

Steep them, simmer them, or grate them fresh. Whole Ceylon cinnamon quills bring a delicate, naturally sweet aroma to drinks, breakfasts, baking, and slow-cooked dishes — without disappearing into the back of the spice drawer.

01

Steep

Add a whole quill to tea, chai, coffee, hot cider, or mulled wine.

02

Simmer

Use in oatmeal, rice pudding, curries, stews, tagines, or slow-cooked fruit.

03

Grate fresh

Grate over coffee, desserts, baked goods, or breakfast bowls.

04

Reuse

In teas, cider, and slow simmers, a single quill can often be used more than once before its aroma fades.

Whole quills keep their structure and aroma — so you can see the difference before you taste it.
