What makes Yahlu Ceylon Cinnamon special?
All other cinnamon is measured against this - delicate, complex, and grown only in Sri Lanka. Shaped by the island’s unique soil, climate, and centuries of craft, it offers an elegance and subtlety that no other variety can match: gently sweet, warmly aromatic, and endlessly nuanced.
Yahlu Ceylon Cinnamon is ground regularly in small batches and sourced from the freshest harvests to preserve as much of the essential oils and natural flavour and aromatic compounds that make it so exceptional.
Sourced by local experts with over forty years of experience, knowledge, and trust. We reinvest in the communities behind our spices, for a choice that tastes great and does good.
Tasting Notes
Soft floral bloom and wild honey open into a signature warmth, where orange peel and clove rise with quiet brilliance. A gentle heat lingers, never sharp, always graceful.

"Tasting Ceylon cinnamon is like listening to your favourite vinyl record on a $4,000 stereo system, from the comfort of a leather Eames lounge chair, while cassia cinnamon is like listening to an mp3 version of the same album on the stereo in your friend Steve’s 1993 Honda Civic. You can still appreciate the music in the car, but...the chair. That’s where you want to be."

“Legit quality cinnamon is deeply earthy, woodsy, spicy, and naturally sweet, with fragrant oils reminiscent of a just-peeled orange. It makes a powerful upgrade to pie filling, cookies, and hot chocolate, and you can use far less of it to bring noticeably sweet and spicy flavours up to your nose.”
