The journal
Ceylon cinnamon, written down
We are preparing a journal about the bark we grow: how the grades differ, how to cook and brew with true cinnamon, what happens across a harvest season, and what importers should check before buying from Sri Lanka.
What we are writing about
Ceylon vs cassia
How to tell true cinnamon from cassia by sight, snap and smell — and why coumarin matters.
A harvest season
Peeling, drying and grading on the estate in Hikkaduwa, from first cut to baled quills.
Buying for import
Documentation, packing, freight and the questions worth asking any Sri Lankan supplier.
