Cinnamomum Zeylanicum Bark Powder (Cinnamon Powder)

Cinnamomum zeylanicum

Sweetly spiced, warming cinnamon pairs well with rainy days and cosy vibes.

Cinnamon comes from the bark of a tropical, evergreen tree belonging to the Laurel family. After harvest, the hardier outer layer of bark is gently removed to reveal an oil-rich inner bark, which is then carefully peeled into thinner layers that naturally curl to form cinnamon sticks. The sticks are dried and cleaned, before being ground into a fine powder. Removing the outer bark before this process allows for a more mellow aroma.
