Sri Lanka
Our History
Throughout history, Cinnamon was always thought to be pretty special. Traceable to 2000 BC in ancient Egypt, the spice was so revered during this time it was thought to be a gift fit only for the monarch and the deity with records noting it as a pious gift presented to the temple of Apollo at Miletus. As the only true source of cinnamon, Sri Lanka was a fiercely guarded source by traders of ancient times and remained a mystery for centuries.
When Portuguese traders finally landed in the 16th century, they commercialised the cultivation of the spice and protected their secret for over 100 years until the Dutch invasion on the island dislodged them from their monopoly. Crafted from the bark of the cinnamon tree, the Cinnamon has been sought after for its fragrance and medicinal benefits for well over a millennium.
Today, Cinnamon is used worldwide as an aromatic spice for cooking, creating fragrances and as a powerful medicine packed with healing properties. To this day, Sri Lanka remains the only single producer of true and pure Ceylon Cinnamon with an ancient knowledge passed down through generations.
