From Tree to Table: The Journey of Ceylon Cinnamon

The story of the world’s finest cinnamon begins deep in the heart of Sri Lanka.

At Cinnamon Kingdom, we don’t just sell spice — we carry centuries of tradition, care, and craftsmanship in every products. But what exactly does it take to turn the bark of a tree into the golden curls and fragrant powders you know as Ceylon cinnamon?

Let us take you behind the scenes — from the fertile soil to your kitchen shelf.

🌱 Step 1: Grown in the Land of Spice

Ceylon cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum) is grown primarily in the southern coastal regions of Sri Lanka, where warm temperatures, tropical rain, and rich soil create the perfect conditions.

These cinnamon trees aren’t wild — they’re carefully cultivated by generations of Sri Lankan farmers who understand the plant like a family member.

🔪 Step 2: Harvested by Hand — the Traditional Way

Unlike industrial spice farming, harvesting Ceylon cinnamon is a delicate art.

🧑‍🌾 Skilled peelers, use simple knives to cut the young branches. The outer bark is scraped off, and the inner bark is gently peeled in fine, soft layers — a skill that takes years to master.

This process is entirely manual. No machines. Just knowledge passed from hand to hand.

🌬️ Step 3: Rolled, Dried & Shaped

Once peeled, the bark is left to dry in the shade. As it dries, it naturally curls into thin, layered quills — the iconic look of Ceylon cinnamon.

  • Quills are graded by thickness, color, and aroma
  • The finest types (like Alba or C5) are light, soft, and fragrant
  • Lower grades are used for grinding into powder or oil extraction

🧼 Step 4: Cleaned, Packed, and Sealed with Purity

At Cinnamon Kingdom, we follow strict quality and hygiene standards:

  • All cinnamon is cleaned, sorted, and hand-selected
  • We use glass jars, eco-friendly pouches, and commercial bulk packaging to match global demand
  • Every batch is tested for purity, coumarin levels, and moisture content and etc.

🚚 Step 5: Shipped From Sri Lanka to the World

From our facilities in Sri Lanka, we ship fresh, export-grade Ceylon cinnamon to the world — ensuring traceability and freshness with every order.

No middlemen. No compromise. Just pure cinnamon, direct from source to shelf.
