What Is True Ceylon Cinnamon?
Ceylon cinnamon is produced from the inner bark of Cinnamomum verum, a species native to Sri Lanka. It is recognised for its thin, layered quills, light brown colour and refined sweet-spice aroma.
It is different from common Cassia cinnamon in botanical identity, quill structure and flavour profile. For buyers who require authentic origin, the specification should clearly state Cinnamomum verum and Sri Lankan origin.
Ceylon Cinnamon and Cassia
Ceylon cinnamon: delicate, layered quills with a mild and complex flavour.
Cassia: usually thicker, harder bark with a stronger and sharper flavour.
Leafy Ceylon focuses this page on genuine Ceylon cinnamon sourced and processed in Sri Lanka.

Ceylon Cinnamon Grades Explained
Ceylon cinnamon quills are graded using factors that include quill diameter, appearance and overall quality. Sri Lanka’s principal grade families include Alba, Continental, Mexican and Hamburg, with commercial sub-grades used within those groups.
The most suitable grade depends on the required appearance, flavour profile, application and target price. We confirm availability and batch specifications before accepting an order.
Common Grade Options
- Alba
- C5 Special and C5
- C4
- M5 and M4
- H1 and H2 variants

Grade names describe commercial quality categories. Final specifications, dimensions and tolerances should be agreed in the quotation or product specification sheet.
