Description
Discover the extraordinary healing power of Ceylon Cinnamon Herbal Tea โ a pure, single-origin botanical infusion crafted entirely from premium Cinnamomum verum bark cuts, sourced exclusively from the tropical lowlands of Sri Lanka โ the only place on earth where true Ceylon cinnamon grows. This is not a flavored tea, a spice blend, or a product made from the cheap Cassia cinnamon that dominates 90% of the global cinnamon market. This is pure, authenticated Cinnamomum verum โ the rarest, most therapeutically superior, and most scientifically validated form of cinnamon in existence, in the most bioavailable form it can be consumed.
The difference between Ceylon cinnamon and common Cassia cinnamon is not a matter of preference โ it is a matter of chemistry, safety, and therapeutic efficacy. Cassia cinnamon contains dangerously high levels of coumarin โ a compound toxic to the liver at regular intake levels, which is why European food safety authorities have placed strict daily consumption limits on it. Cinnamomum verum contains negligible coumarin โ making it the only form of cinnamon safe for daily therapeutic use. It is the only cinnamon with the full spectrum of biologically active procyanidins, cinnamaldehyde, and polyphenols in the ratios that generate the health benefits cinnamon is celebrated for worldwide.
Each of the 30 individually sealed bags contains pure Ceylon cinnamon bark tea cuts โ whole pieces of the quill bark, never powdered, never blended, never substituted. You are steeping the actual bark of Cinnamomum verum โ releasing its extraordinary complex of cinnamaldehyde, cinnamate, procyanidins, and flavonoids directly into your cup. This is the closest thing to medicinal cinnamon as Ayurvedic physicians, ancient Egyptian healers, and Sri Lankan traditional practitioners have prescribed it for over 4,000 years.

Ceylon vs. Cassia โ The Most Important Cinnamon Distinction You Will Ever Learn
Most people have never tasted real cinnamon. The cinnamon in your spice rack, in commercial teas, in supplements, and in the vast majority of "cinnamon products" worldwide is almost certainly Cassia (Cinnamomum aromaticum or Cinnamomum cassia) โ a related but distinctly different species grown primarily in China, Vietnam, and Indonesia. It is cheaper, more abundant, and easier to produce. It is also significantly less therapeutically effective and potentially harmful when consumed regularly.
| Attribute | Ceylon Cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum) | Cassia Cinnamon (Cinnamomum aromaticum) |
|---|---|---|
| Coumarin Content | Negligible (0.004%) โ safe for daily use | Very High (0.07โ1%) โ liver-toxic at regular intake |
| Cinnamaldehyde | 50โ63% โ optimal therapeutic range | 70โ90% โ harsh, overpowering |
| Procyanidin Content | High โ the key insulin-sensitizing compounds | Significantly lower |
| Daily Use Safety | Yes โ safe for long-term daily therapeutic use | No โ EU limits to 0.1mg/kg body weight per day |
| Origin | Sri Lanka exclusively (with minor cultivation in India) | China, Vietnam, Indonesia |
| Bark Appearance | Thin, multi-layered, papery quill โ delicate | Thick, hard, single-layer scroll โ rough |
| Flavor | Delicate, sweet, complex, refined | Harsh, intense, slightly bitter, one-dimensional |
| Traditional Medicine Status | The authentic cinnamon of Ayurveda and all ancient medicine | A substitute โ not the species used in classical formulations |
| Research Quality | The majority of positive clinical outcomes are from verum | Results are inconsistent โ coumarin confounds benefits |
| Price | Premium โ limited to Sri Lankan cultivation | Cheap โ mass commodity production |
CRITICAL AUTHENTICITY NOTE: True Cinnamomum verum is grown commercially only in Sri Lanka. Our cinnamon is single-origin Ceylon โ verified by botanical identity testing. Every bag contains the only cinnamon the ancient world knew, the only cinnamon Ayurvedic texts describe, and the only cinnamon with a safety and efficacy profile suitable for therapeutic daily use.
Active Compound Profile (Per Serving)
| Active Compound | Amount / Status | Therapeutic & Health Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Cinnamaldehyde | 50โ63% of volatile oil | Primary bioactive โ anti-diabetic, antimicrobial, anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective |
| Procyanidins (Type-A) | High โ key insulin-mimetic compounds | Insulin receptor activation, blood sugar control โ the mechanism behind cinnamon's anti-diabetic action |
| Cinnamate (Cinnamic Acid) | Present โ significant | Anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, anti-oxidant phenolic acid |
| Eugenol | Present โ higher in verum than Cassia | Analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial โ same compound as clove oil's active agent |

CRITICAL QUALITY FACTOR:
- True Cinnamomum verum is commercially grown only in Sri Lanka โ any product claiming "Ceylon cinnamon" not sourced from Sri Lanka is mislabeled
- The thin, papery, multi-layered quill of Cinnamomum verum bark is visually and texturally distinct from the thick, hard, single-scroll of Cassia โ a difference visible to the naked eye in every bag
- Whole bark tea cuts release a fundamentally more complete compound profile than powdered cinnamon, which oxidizes rapidly and loses volatile cinnamaldehyde quickly after grinding
- The negligible coumarin content of Cinnamomum verum makes it the only form of cinnamon endorsed by European and North American regulatory bodies for regular daily therapeutic consumption
- Most "cinnamon teas" on the market โ including many marketed as "Ceylon" โ use Cassia bark or Cassia-based flavorings. We provide botanical identity verification documents with every batch
- The warm, delicate sweetness of genuine Cinnamomum verum tea requires no added sweetener โ the bark's natural sugars and aromatic complexity make it one of the most naturally pleasant herbal teas available
How to Use Ceylon Cinnamon Herbal Tea
Brewing Instructions (Primary Use):
- Bring fresh water to 90โ95ยฐC / 194โ203ยฐF (just off the boil)
- Place one bag in your cup
- Pour water over bag and steep for 7โ10 minutes
- Longer steeping (8โ10 minutes) extracts more procyanidins and cinnamaldehyde for maximum therapeutic benefit

Health & Wellness Benefits
Potential for Diabetes Treatment & Blood Sugar Management
The anti-diabetic properties of Ceylon cinnamon represent the most extensively researched and clinically validated health benefit of this botanical โ and the distinction between Cinnamomum verum and Cassia is absolutely critical here. The primary mechanism is driven by procyanidins โ particularly a class called Type-A procyanidins found in significantly higher concentrations in Cinnamomum verum than in Cassia. These compounds have been shown to mimic insulin by activating insulin receptors on cell surfaces, increasing the expression of GLUT-4 glucose transporters (which pull glucose from the bloodstream into cells), and inhibiting protein tyrosine phosphatase โ an enzyme that inactivates insulin receptors. Multiple human randomized controlled trials have demonstrated meaningful reductions in fasting blood glucose, post-meal glucose spikes, and HbA1c (the 3-month blood sugar average) in participants consuming Cinnamomum verum extract. A meta-analysis published in the Annals of Family Medicine confirmed significant blood glucose reductions across multiple studies. Daily pre-meal consumption provides the most consistent glycemic benefit, leveraging the timing of procyanidin activity relative to carbohydrate digestion.
Helps Manage Blood Pressure
Ceylon cinnamon's blood pressure-modulating effects operate through multiple vascular mechanisms that have been validated in both preclinical and clinical research. Cinnamaldehyde and its metabolites act as calcium channel inhibitors โ relaxing the smooth muscle cells lining blood vessel walls and reducing peripheral vascular resistance, the primary determinant of diastolic blood pressure. Cinnamate compounds support the production of nitric oxide in vascular endothelium โ the molecule responsible for arterial vasodilation that healthy blood pressure depends on. A 2020 meta-analysis published in Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition found that cinnamon supplementation produced significant reductions in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure across included studies, with the most consistent results from Cinnamomum verum preparations. For individuals managing hypertension through lifestyle and diet, daily Ceylon cinnamon tea represents one of the most evidence-supported natural vascular support strategies available.
Aids in Alzheimer's Prevention & Brain Health
The neuroprotective properties of Ceylon cinnamon are among its most exciting and actively researched areas of pharmacology. Two specific mechanisms have attracted particular scientific attention. First, cinnamaldehyde has been shown to inhibit the aggregation of tau protein โ the toxic protein tangles that accumulate in the brains of Alzheimer's patients and are considered a primary driver of neurodegeneration. Tau aggregation inhibition by cinnamaldehyde has been demonstrated in multiple laboratory models and represents a genuinely novel neuroprotective mechanism. Second, cinnamon extract (CEppt) has been shown in research to inhibit the formation of amyloid-beta plaques โ the other hallmark pathological feature of Alzheimer's disease โ by preventing the misfolding of the amyloid precursor protein. Research published in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease demonstrated that cinnamon extract significantly delayed the progression of Alzheimer's pathology in animal models. For brain health, the anti-inflammatory properties of cinnamate and the antioxidant protection of procyanidins add further neuroprotective layers โ addressing the chronic neuroinflammation now recognized as a central contributor to cognitive decline.
Good for Brain Health
Beyond Alzheimer's-specific research, Ceylon cinnamon demonstrates broad neurological benefits that support cognitive function, memory, attention, and mood in healthy individuals. Cinnamaldehyde has been shown to improve cognitive performance in multiple research models through its neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory, and circulatory-enhancing effects โ increasing cerebral blood flow and protecting neurons from oxidative stress. Research published in the Nutritional Neuroscience journal demonstrated that cinnamon supplementation improved visual-motor response speed, learning, and memory performance in participants. The flower's ฮฒ-caryophyllene acts on CB2 receptors in the central nervous system, contributing to neuroinflammation reduction. Kaempferol supports the maintenance of neuronal mitochondrial function โ the energy production machinery of brain cells that declines with age. The combination of direct neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory, and circulatory mechanisms makes daily Ceylon cinnamon consumption one of the most multi-layered natural cognitive support strategies available.
Full of Antioxidants
Ceylon cinnamon consistently ranks among the highest ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) values ever measured in a food ingredient โ significantly higher than blueberries, pomegranates, and most superfoods celebrated for their antioxidant content. Its antioxidant profile is extraordinarily diverse: cinnamaldehyde, cinnamate, procyanidins, quercetin, kaempferol, catechins, and eugenol each address different reactive oxygen species and free radical pathways. This multi-compound antioxidant action provides broader cellular protection than any single-antioxidant supplement. The procyanidins in Cinnamomum verum are particularly potent โ Type-A procyanidins have demonstrated antioxidant activity superior to Vitamins C and E in comparative studies. Daily Ceylon cinnamon tea delivers this extraordinary antioxidant complex in its most bioavailable whole-food form, steeping directly from the bark into your cup.
High in Nutrients
Ceylon cinnamon bark is a genuinely nutrient-dense botanical โ not merely a flavoring agent. It contains meaningful concentrations of manganese (critical for bone formation, enzyme function, and glucose metabolism), calcium (bone density, nerve transmission, muscle function), iron (red blood cell formation, oxygen transport, energy), Vitamin K (blood coagulation, bone health, arterial calcification prevention), and dietary fiber (digestive health, cholesterol binding, blood sugar moderation). Manganese is particularly noteworthy โ a single serving of Ceylon cinnamon tea can contribute significantly toward the recommended daily intake of this trace mineral, which plays a critical co-factor role in the superoxide dismutase (SOD) enzyme โ the body's master antioxidant system. These nutrients are released directly into the water during steeping, making tea one of the most bioavailable delivery methods for cinnamon's micronutrient content.
Reduce Your Cancer Risk
The anti-cancer research on Cinnamomum verum compounds is extensive and operates through multiple documented mechanisms. Cinnamaldehyde has demonstrated significant cytotoxic activity against multiple human cancer cell lines โ including colorectal, gastric, cervical, melanoma, and leukemia cells โ in laboratory studies, primarily through the induction of apoptosis (programmed cell death) in malignant cells and the inhibition of angiogenesis (the formation of new blood vessels that tumors require to grow). Cinnamic acid (cinnamate) has shown anti-proliferative and pro-apoptotic effects across multiple cancer models, with particular strength against colorectal and breast cancer cell lines. Eugenol has demonstrated anti-tumor activity through NF-ฮบB pathway inhibition โ a transcription factor that drives tumor survival and metastasis. The anti-inflammatory action of the entire compound complex addresses the chronic inflammation that is now established as a primary driver of cancer initiation and progression. While this research is preclinical and does not constitute a medical claim, the mechanistic evidence for Ceylon cinnamon's cancer-protective potential across multiple pathways is among the most compelling in botanical oncology research.
Boost Energy of Your Body
Ceylon cinnamon provides a uniquely sustainable, stimulant-free energy boost through mechanisms fundamentally different from caffeine. Its blood sugar-stabilizing procyanidins prevent the sharp glucose peaks and crashes that produce the energy rollercoaster most people experience after meals โ maintaining a stable, even blood glucose level that translates directly into consistent physical and mental energy throughout the day. Its manganese content supports the enzymatic pathways of cellular energy production in mitochondria. Its cinnamaldehyde improves peripheral circulation and oxygen delivery to muscles and organs, supporting physical vitality and stamina. Its anti-inflammatory action reduces the systemic fatigue associated with chronic low-grade inflammation โ a state that silently drains energy from millions of people without a recognized cause. The energy from Ceylon cinnamon tea is real, grounded, and lasting โ not a spike and crash, but an elevation of your baseline.

Customer Experiences
"I have been managing pre-diabetes through diet and lifestyle for 3 years. Adding 2 cups of this tea daily โ before breakfast and before dinner โ has produced the most consistent improvement in my fasting glucose readings of anything I have tried. By week 3 my numbers were visibly trending down. My GP has noted the improvement and is supportive of me continuing. The quality is real โ this genuinely tastes different and better than any cinnamon tea I have ever had."
โ Michael T., Pre-Diabetes Management & Health Enthusiast
"As a neurologist with a research interest in Alzheimer's prevention, I follow the cinnamon research closely. The tau-aggregation inhibition work on cinnamaldehyde is genuinely exciting โ it targets a mechanism that pharmaceutical development has largely failed to crack. I drink this every morning personally and recommend it to patients interested in dietary neuroprotection strategies. The species authentication matters enormously โ most people buying 'cinnamon' for health reasons are getting Cassia, which does not have the same compound profile."
โ Dr. Rachel S., Consultant Neurologist & Neurodegenerative Disease Researcher
"I switched from Cassia cinnamon capsules to this tea 6 months ago and the difference in how my body responds is notable. Blood sugar is more stable, digestion is smoother, and the flavor is incomparably better โ genuinely sweet and warming without any of the harshness. The fact that I don't have to worry about coumarin accumulation means I can drink it every day without hesitation. This is what cinnamon supplementation should be."
โ Sarah K., Integrative Nutritionist & Wellness Educator
"Being from Matale, Sri Lanka โ one of the original cinnamon-growing regions โ I know what real Kurundu smells and tastes like from childhood. This product is genuine. The aroma when you open the box, the pale color of the bark, the delicate sweetness of the brew โ everything is exactly right. It makes me proud to see our national botanical treasure presented with the quality and respect it deserves."

Every cup is a commitment to your blood sugar, your brain, your heart, and your longevity โ brewed from the inner bark of the only true cinnamon tree on earth, grown in the only country it has ever called home.
Pure. Authentic. Healing. The Only True Cinnamon on Earth.
IMPORTANT AUTHENTICITY NOTE: The global cinnamon market is dominated by Cassia โ a cheaper species that is sold as "cinnamon" and is potentially harmful at regular therapeutic doses due to its high coumarin content. Most "cinnamon teas" and "cinnamon supplements" worldwide contain Cassia, not Cinnamomum verum. If you have been taking cinnamon for health benefits and have not verified the species as Cinnamomum verum, you are likely consuming the wrong species. We provide botanical identity certificates and coumarin level test reports with every batch โ the only proof that genuinely matters when it comes to therapeutic-grade cinnamon.
