Shall we spill the tea on cinnamon? ☕🌿
What most of us know as cinnamon is actually cassia. It’s darker, hotter and more intense - but it’s not the same as genuine Ceylon cinnamon.
True Ceylon cinnamon - Cinnamomum verum - comes primarily from Sri Lanka. It’s lighter, softer and more delicate, with subtle citrus and floral notes. ✨
Our spices are prepared by third-generation cinnamon growers in Sri Lanka, so knowing where they come from really matters to us. We’re not buying anonymous ingredients from a wholesaler - we work with people who know and understand these spices. ❤️
And yes, the cinnamon in our curry kits is the real deal: genuine Ceylon cinnamon. 🇱🇰
