Product Description

WHILE SRI LANKA'S MOST famous export today might be tea, historically the most important has been cinnamon. In fact, so strong is the affinity between cinnamon and Sri Lanka that the very botanical name of the spice - Cinnamomum zeylanicum is derived from the island's former name, Ceylon. Throughout the long history of the island, particularly from the *6th through the *8th centuries, cinnamon was the Holy Grail of foreign invaders, becoming the main article of trade for the great Dutch East India Company and over which long and costly wars were fought between Portugal and Holland. Today Sri Lanka is still the world's leading source of cinnamon, producing not only four-fifths of the world output but its choicest grades as well. We serve you the best quality cinnamon at a very competitive price, that's our policy we have been delivering since ***8.
