Cinnamon is a warm, aromatic spice made from the inner bark of tropical evergreen trees. Known for its sweet-spicy flavor and comforting scent, cinnamon has been treasured for centuries in culinary and herbal traditions. In stick form, it retains its essential oils and potency, making it ideal for teas, decoctions, and spice blends.

Historical & Cultural Background:
Cinnamon has a long and storied history dating back to ancient Egypt and China, where it was prized for its fragrance and culinary value. It was once considered more valuable than gold and played a prominent role in trade routes. In traditional herbalism, cinnamon has been used to support digestion and general wellness, and it remains a pantry staple in kitchens around the world.

Traditional & Modern Applications:

Used in traditional spiced beverages and chai blends
Added to culinary recipes for warmth and depth

Harvest & Processing:
The inner bark is carefully peeled from mature cinnamon trees and rolled into sticks, also called quills. These are then sun-dried to preserve their natural oils and aroma. The sticks can be used whole or broken into pieces for brewing or blending.

Precautions:
Excessive consumption may cause adverse effects. Use in moderation. Consult with a qualified healthcare provider before use if pregnant, nursing, or taking medications.
