With its naturally sweet, delicate, and multi-layered flavor, Ceylon is a world apart from the sharp, pungent Cassia cinnamon that fills most grocery store shelves.

The island's warm, humid, tropical climate — particularly in the southwestern lowlands around Galle and Matara — creates the precise conditions under which \u003cem\u003eCinnamomum verum\u003c\/em\u003e develops its signature thin, papery bark and delicate flavor profile. Ceylon cinnamon grown elsewhere never quite achieves the same character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur powder is milled from the inner bark of mature Ceylon cinnamon trees, harvested by hand by skilled cultivators who have practiced the craft for generations.

Cassia (\u003cem\u003eCinnamomum cassia\u003c\/em\u003e) is the common grocery store variety from China or Indonesia — bolder and spicier, but significantly higher in coumarin. For daily use, Ceylon is the widely recommended choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy does coumarin matter?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCoumarin is a naturally occurring compound found in high amounts in Cassia cinnamon. Regular consumption of large amounts of Cassia may be a concern for liver health in sensitive individuals. Ceylon cinnamon contains 250–1,200 times less coumarin than Cassia, making it the preferred option for people using cinnamon regularly in food or beverages.

The botanical name — \u003cem\u003eCinnamomum verum\u003c\/em\u003e — is verified through our supply chain. You can also check visually: real Ceylon powder is lighter in color (tan to light brown) and has a milder, sweeter scent compared to the darker, more pungent Cassia powder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much Ceylon cinnamon should I use per day?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor culinary and daily wellness use, ¼ to 1 teaspoon per day in food or beverages is a common and generally well-tolerated range for most healthy adults.
