Ceylon Cinnamon, often called “True Cinnamon,” is a delicately sweet and mildly spicy bark harvested from the inner trunk of the Cinnamomum verum tree. Known for its subtle aroma and complex flavor, it is considered a premium variety of cinnamon. In herbal and culinary traditions, Ceylon Cinnamon sticks are prized for their smooth texture, low coumarin content, and versatility in teas and recipes.

Historical & Cultural Background:
Native to Sri Lanka, Ceylon Cinnamon has been used for thousands of years in Ayurvedic and traditional medicine systems. Ancient traders once valued it as a rare and precious spice, used in everything from sacred rituals to food preservation. Today, it remains a staple in wellness and culinary practices for its warming nature and aromatic profile.

Traditional & Modern Applications:

Brewed into herbal teas, decoctions, and chai blends
Used in spiced beverages and traditional tonics
Added to desserts, stews, and culinary recipes
Infused into syrups, broths, and wellness formulations

Harvest & Processing:
Ceylon Cinnamon is hand-harvested by peeling thin layers of bark from young branches. The bark naturally curls into soft, layered quills and is sun-dried to preserve its delicate oils and fragrance. The resulting sticks can be used whole or broken into pieces for blending and brewing.

Precautions:
Generally considered safe when used in culinary amounts. As with any herb, consult a qualified healthcare provider before use if pregnant, nursing, or taking medications.
