Discover Organic Ceylon Cinnamon: The True Cinnamon

Ceylon Cinnamon, known as "true cinnamon," is famous around the world for its mild taste, making it a popular choice for buyers seeking high-quality organic cinnamon. Whether you're looking for organic cinnamon powder, sticks, or tea, Ceylon Cinnamon from Sri Lanka offers a pure, flavorful experience.

True Cinnamon vs. Cassia: What's the Difference?

There are two main types of cinnamon: true cinnamon and Cassia. Ceylon Cinnamon, especially in its organic form, is lighter in color, softer in texture, and has a sweet, delicate flavor. Cassia Cinnamon, which is more common, is darker, harder, and has a stronger, spicier taste. Many people prefer organic Ceylon cinnamon because it’s healthier, containing less coumarin, a substance that can be harmful if consumed in large amounts.
