Slender & brittle in texture, sophisticated & subtle in taste. Tender barks of the Cinnamomum Verum or True Cinnamon tree are gently scraped & peeled, then neatly rolled and shade dried.
Flavour your cocktails for added sophistication or infuse in tea for detox & healing. Sprinkle over Apple tarts, pair cinnamon with nutmeg in your French toasts or cook aromatic curries. Our award-winning Kandy Heirloom Cinnamon quills are for discerning home cooks, chefs & lovers of gastronomy.
Shade-Dried, Hand-Rolled, Unhurried
The farm sits atop a mountainous hamlet in Ratnapura District, undisturbed & pristine.
As you look farther, the sight of lush & evergreen True Cinnamon trees merges with forest land, with indigenous King Coconut trees (known as Thæmbili) being the only obstruction to the eye. From a distant, the synchronised movements of skilled artisans scraping & peeling delicate cinnamon barks sound like a symphony. Tender barks are harvested early morning, the outer bark is gently scraped, hand-peeled & elegantly rolled into quills ~ nothing less than a piece of art we’d say ~ by craftsmen & women using age-old traditions that have been passed on for generations. The quills are slow dried under the shade, naturally.
