Organic Ceylon Cinnamon Sticks (C5 Special Grade) | Authentic Sri Lankan Quills

The Gold Standard of Sri Lankan Spices Our Organic Ceylon Cinnamon Sticks (C5 Grade) are the perfect balance of luxury and versatility. While many brands sell low-quality “Continental” grades that are rough and gritty, we select only C5 Special quills. These are highly sought after for their smooth appearance, golden color, and rich essential oil content.

What is C5 Grade Cinnamon? In the grading system of Cinnamomum zeylanicum, C5 stands for “Continental 5.” It is one of the top grades available:

• Visual: Smooth, golden-yellow skin with no foxing (dark patches).

• Structure: Multiple thin layers of inner bark rolled tightly like a cigar.

• Diameter: Approx. 10–12mm (Slightly thicker than a pencil).

• Taste: Sweet and aromatic, without the harsh “red hot” burn of Cassia.

Why Choose Our Ceylon Cinnamon Sticks?

• 100% True Cinnamon: Sourced ethically from the spice gardens of Sri Lanka. We never blend our sticks with cheap Cassia.

• Healthier Choice: Unlike Cassia, our Ceylon Cinnamon contains ultra-low traces of Coumarin, making it safe for liver health and daily consumption.

• Fresh Harvest: We import in small batches to ensure the quills retain their potent aroma and health-boosting antioxidants.

Culinary Uses This is the most versatile grade for your kitchen:

• Slow Cooking: Toss a whole C5 stick into stews, curries, or oatmeal. The stick will slowly release its flavor without falling apart.

• Beverages: The perfect stirrer for hot chocolate, cider, or traditional Sri Lankan milk tea.

• Infusions: Boil in water with ginger and honey for a powerful immune-boosting tonic.

FAQ

• Q: What is the difference between Alba and C5 Grade?

  • A: Alba is the rarest grade, known for being pencil-thin (6mm). C5 is slightly thicker (10-12mm) and more affordable, making it ideal for general cooking where the visual slimness isn’t as critical. Both have the same premium flavor.

• Q: Are these sticks hard or soft?

  • A: Authentic Ceylon Cinnamon sticks are soft and brittle. You can easily break them by hand or grind them in a coffee grinder. If a stick is rock-hard, it is likely Cassia, not Ceylon.
