Cinnamon Trio – Three shades of a living tradition

ThereCeylon cinnamonis a precious spice made from the inner bark of the cinnamon tree "Cinnamomum zeylanicum", traditionally grown in Sri Lanka. After hand-harvesting, the bark is slowly air-dried and then finely ground to preserve its delicate aromas.

Unlike cassia cinnamon, which is more pungent and bitter,Ceylon cinnamonstands out for its sweetness, subtle warmth, and slightly sweet, woody notes. At Lokayah, we select cinnamon trees grown in small plots, respecting the tree's natural cycle, to offer you a noble, balanced, and vibrant spice.
