What Makes It Ceylon

Ceylon and cassia are not the same.

Many products sold simply as “cinnamon” are cassia — a darker, harder bark with a stronger, spicier flavour. Ceylon cinnamon, also known as Cinnamomum verum, is lighter, softer, and rolled into delicate layered quills.

The difference is visible before you taste it.

  • Thin, layered quills

Cassia Cinnamon
