Epices de Cru-Spice Trekkers Cinnamon 00 Sri Lanka 35g

This true Sri Lankan Cinnamon is more robust and less expensive than the finer 00000 grade cinnamon. From the same producers as our finest grade cinnamon.

True cinnamon, as opposed to cassia, comes in a number of grades, including Mexican, Hamburg, and Alba. It is further subdivided into grades ranging from 0-00000 (00000 being the thinnest quills). This cinnamon is a 00 Alba, fine and delicate but still offering a nice punch. 

After grading their cinnamon for general export, our friends ERRORERROR then make a further selection from their warehouse especially for us. Deepa and Sanath’s cinnamon is the only one we use in our blends. Their plantation is situated in sandy soil in the village of Cinnamon, Sri Lanka, a few hundred meters from the Indian Ocean.
