Description
Ceylon Cinnamon or known as True Cinnamon, Cinnamomum zeylanicum, dates back in Chinese writings to 2800 B.C. and is still known as kwai in the Cantonese language today. Its botanical name derives from the Hebraic and Arabic term amomon, meaning fragrant spice plant.
Ceylon Cinnamon originating from Sri Lanka was recognized as of superior quality. It is said that at one time Ceylon cinnamon was more valuable than gold and was used only by the noble class. The temptation for Ceylon Cinnamon was unique and it attracted Portuguese, Dutch and British sailors to the island for many years through history.
