What Is C5 Grade Ceylon Cinnamon?

C5 is a recognised grade of whole Ceylon cinnamon quills. It is a popular choice for customers looking for attractive, premium-quality true cinnamon sticks for regular kitchen use, tea brewing, gifting and food preparation.

C5 grade offers a balance between refined appearance, aroma and value. It is an excellent choice when you want genuine Sri Lankan Ceylon cinnamon quills without paying the higher price usually associated with ultra-fine Alba grade cinnamon.

Why Choose True Ceylon Cinnamon?

Many supermarket cinnamon products are cassia, which is usually darker, thicker and stronger in flavour. Ceylon cinnamon is different: it is made from Cinnamomum verum, has a lighter, more delicate structure, and is recognised for its naturally sweet and refined spice profile.

How to Use Ceylon Cinnamon Sticks

For Cinnamon Tea

Add 1 whole Ceylon cinnamon stick to a cup or small teapot of hot water. Steep for 8–12 minutes, then enjoy plain or add honey, lemon, milk or palm jaggery to taste.

For Coffee, Chai and Warm Drinks

Add a cinnamon quill to coffee, chai, hot chocolate, apple cider or warm water while serving. The stick slowly releases a gentle sweet-spice aroma.

For Curries, Rice and Simmered Dishes

Add 1–2 whole cinnamon sticks to curries, rice, stews, sauces, soups or broth while cooking. Remove the quills before serving.

For Baking and Fresh Grinding

Break the quills into smaller pieces and grind only what you need for the freshest cinnamon aroma. Whole sticks naturally hold their fragrance longer than pre-ground cinnamon powder when stored correctly.

Freshness and Storage

Keep your C5 grade Ceylon cinnamon sticks sealed in the original pouch or an airtight container. Store them in a cool, dry cupboard away from steam, direct sunlight and strong-smelling foods.

• Keep the pouch or container tightly closed after each use.
• Use a clean, dry spoon or dry hands when handling broken pieces.
• Avoid storing close to the stove, sink or dishwasher.
• For the best aroma, open only the amount you need and keep extra packs sealed.
