Sri Lankan Cinnamon (Cinnamomum Zylensis) or ‘True Cinnamon’ has always stood out from the rest of the spices with its distinctive taste and aroma. It is botanically quite different to and distinct from Cassia (Cinnamomum Cassiensis), which is produced in China and Indonesia, and is widely used around the world as a substitute to Cinnamon. Cassia is generally very much cheaper and less refined in taste in comparison to Sri Lankan Cinnamon.
