Ceylon Cinnamon Shop products are made with naturally grown cinnamon bark from Sri Lanka's Central Province. This mountainous region is believed to be where the Cinnamomum verum/zeylanicum species of evergreen tree originated. The unique climate produces the finest "True Cinnamon" in the world. The inner bark has a golden brown color, citrusy aroma and mild flavor. Ceylon cinnamon is the recommended type of cinnamon for dietary supplements given it has virtually no unwanted coumarin (<0.005%) and numerous health benefits published in the U.S. National Library of Medicine.

Ceylon Cinnamon Shop has partnered with the leading third-party providers to authenticate the type and quality of our cinnamon. These well-known logos, displayed on our labels, signify independent confirmation related to the genetic origin, cultivation, harvesting and safety of our products. Beware of products labeled as Ceylon cinnamon with a picture review history showing inconsistent cinnamon bark color. Cassia, Saigon, and Korintje cinnamon are often mislabeled as the more expensive Ceylon variety and can contain unsafe levels of coumarin. Ceylon cinnamon should always have a golden brown color, citrusy aroma and mild flavor.
