Our story
From Sri Lankan soil, straight to your global doorstep.
Guruge Cinnamon Expo Products is a Sri Lankan family business from Hikkaduwa. We grow, harvest, and grade true Ceylon cinnamon the way our grandparents did — by hand, without shortcuts — and ship it to kitchens and warehouses around the world.
Cut at first light.
Cinnamon bark is prepared from selected stems. Skilled preparation produces the fine layers used in Ceylon cinnamon quills.
Peeled and rolled by hand.
Within hours of harvest the outer bark is scraped away and the fragrant inner bark is peeled in paper-thin layers, rolled into the layered quills Sri Lanka is famous for, and left to dry slowly in the shade.
Sorted quill by quill.
Dried quills are graded by thickness and colour — Alba, C5, C4 — then cut, bundled, and checked again. Powder is milled fresh from selected quills, never from floor sweepings.
Farm to buyer, documented.
Every batch leaves Hikkaduwa with its paperwork: origin, grade, and processing records. Whether it is a single gift box or a full container, you know exactly where your cinnamon grew.
Our focus is authentic Ceylon cinnamon, prepared in Sri Lanka.
— The Guruge family, Hikkaduwa
