Ceylon cinnamon sticks – organic spices

Description

Ceylon cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum), also known as 'real cinnamon', is an aromatic spice originating from Sri Lanka, where it has been cultivated for centuries in the tropical, coastal regions. The bark of the cinnamon tree is harvested in thin layers, which roll up during drying to form the recognisable, light and fragile cinnamon sticks. Ceylon cinnamon belongs to the laurel family (Lauraceae) and is distinguished by its fine texture, subtly sweet aroma and elegant flavour. In South Asian culinary traditions, it is a staple ingredient in sweet and savoury dishes, and in tea and spice blends it adds warmth and a soft, aromatic depth. Due to its mild, warm character, Ceylon cinnamon is particularly popular in herbal infusions, winter blends, chai-like teas and sweet herbal blends. Even when brewed on its own, a cinnamon stick produces a mild, aromatic and slightly sweet herbal tea.
