Sourced from the central hills of Sri Lanka, which was once called Ceylon by Europeans, these delicate cinnamon sticks are hand-rolled into layers using indegenious techniques. This small-batch heirloom variety comes from the soft, inner bark of the cinnamomum verum tree, which produces a more delicate and mild tasting cinnamon than the more commonly available cassia variety. Complex, bright and floral, this premium cinnamon has notes of honey and lemon grass and the slight punch of a red chili aftertaste. Unlike many commercial varieties, which can sit in storage for years before hitting shelves, Cinnamon Tree Organics’ organic, single-origin cinnamon is pesticide-free and does not include artificial colors, flavors or preservatives. The heirloom seeds are chosen for their quality and potency rather than quantity they would produce.
Cinnamon sticks are harvested and formed as a byproduct of the tropical rains that come during Sri Lanka’s annual monsoon season. The storms start in May and let up several months later, drenching the bark of the cinnamomum verums trees. After the trees dry out, the bark is loosened and the trees start to shed. The bark is then peeled from the tree by hand, rolled into tight quills and air-dried to form cinnamon sticks.
We test everything we sell. Here’s how we’d use this.
