About This Brand
We Are Not a Tourist Garden
If you searched "Ceylon Spice Garden" and landed here after reading about overpriced tourist traps in Sri Lanka — this page is for you.
The Confusion
Across Sri Lanka, there are dozens of roadside spice gardens — physical tourist attractions that tour buses stop at. Many of them use the name "Ceylon Spice Garden." Tourists report being taken there by guides, shown around by staff, and sold products at heavily inflated prices. Reviews are mixed. The arrangement often involves commissions paid to drivers and guides.
We are not one of them.
ceylonspicegarden.com is an online export brand. We have no physical tourist facility. We do not sell to walk-in visitors. We do not work with tour guides. We ship internationally from Sri Lanka to buyers in the USA, UK, Europe, and Australia who order through our website.

Who We Are
Ceylon Spice Garden was founded by Sri Lankans to do one thing: get authentic, lab-verified Sri Lankan spices directly to the buyers who want them — without the layers of importers, wholesalers, and re-labellers that typically sit between a Sri Lankan farm and a customer abroad.
We source from 25+ partner farms across the spice-growing regions of Sri Lanka. Every batch goes through four independent laboratory tests before it is packed and dispatched. The tests cover species authenticity, coumarin level, heavy metals, and microbial safety. A Certificate of Analysis for the current batch is available to every customer who requests one.
"Sri Lankan-owned. Lab-verified. Farm-direct. Every batch tested before it leaves Sri Lanka."
What Makes This Brand Different
Species Authentication
Every cinnamon batch is verified as genuine Cinnamomum verum — Ceylon cinnamon — not Cinnamomum cassia, the cheaper "fake cinnamon" sold by most suppliers.
Coumarin Testing
True Ceylon cinnamon contains very low coumarin. We test every batch against the EU threshold of 0.1g/kg dry weight. Results are documented in the COA.
Heavy Metal Screening
Independent lab testing for lead, cadmium, arsenic, and mercury on every batch. Results documented before dispatch.
COA on Every Order
A Certificate of Analysis — the actual lab report — is available on request for every product and every batch. Ask at support@ceylonspicegarden.com.
Ships to 50+ Countries
We are an international export business. Orders ship from Sri Lanka via DHL and UPS to the USA, UK, EU, Australia, and 50+ countries worldwide.
1,000+ Verified Reviews
Over 1,000 verified customer reviews from international buyers, averaging 4.75 stars. These are buyers who ordered online — not tourists who were walked into a shop.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is ceylonspicegarden.com the same as the tourist spice gardens I read about in Sri Lanka?
No. ceylonspicegarden.com is an online export brand only. We have no physical tourist facility and no affiliation with any roadside spice garden in Sri Lanka. The name "Ceylon Spice Garden" is used independently by several physical tourist attractions in Sri Lanka — we are not one of them.
Are the complaints about tourist Ceylon Spice Gardens related to this website?
No. Reviews referencing overpriced products, tour guide commissions, or on-site pressure selling describe unrelated physical businesses that happen to use a similar name. This website's reviews are from online buyers who ordered internationally.
How do I know the products sold here are actually lab-tested?
Request the COA. Every product on this site has a current Certificate of Analysis from an independent laboratory. Email support@ceylonspicegarden.com with your order number or product name and we will send the full lab report. The COA shows the batch number, test results (species, coumarin, heavy metals, microbial), and the laboratory that conducted the testing.
Why does this site have the same name as tourist gardens in Sri Lanka?
"Ceylon" is the former name of Sri Lanka, and "spice garden" is a common descriptor for spice cultivation in the region. The name describes what we do — we grow and export Ceylon spices. We registered ceylonspicegarden.com as an export brand. The physical tourist gardens are separate businesses with no legal or operational connection to this site.
Who owns Ceylon Spice Garden?
Ceylon Spice Garden is Sri Lankan-owned. We were founded to bring authentic Sri Lankan spices directly to international buyers — without importers, resellers, or repackagers in the supply chain.
