What Is C5 Grade Ceylon Cinnamon Powder?
This product is made using C5 grade Ceylon cinnamon, then finely ground into an easy-to-use powder. C5 is a recognised commercial Ceylon cinnamon grade valued for its aroma, appearance and practical everyday use.
Ground Ceylon cinnamon gives you the convenience of quick measuring while keeping the naturally soft, sweet and refined character associated with true Sri Lankan cinnamon.
Why Choose True Ceylon Cinnamon?
Many supermarket cinnamon powders are cassia, which is often darker and stronger in flavour. True Ceylon cinnamon is different. It comes from Cinnamomum verum and has a softer, more delicate and naturally sweet spice profile.
| Feature | Ceylon Cinnamon | Cassia Cinnamon |
|---|---|---|
| Botanical name | Cinnamomum verum | Usually cassia varieties |
| Colour | Light golden-brown | Usually darker reddish-brown |
| Flavor | Soft, sweet and refined | Stronger, hotter and more pungent |
| Best for | Coffee, tea, baking, oatmeal and everyday cooking | Recipes needing a stronger cinnamon flavour |
How to Use Ceylon Cinnamon Powder
For Coffee, Tea and Warm Drinks
Stir ¼ to ½ teaspoon into coffee, tea, chai, warm water, hot chocolate or a latte. Cinnamon naturally settles, so stir again before drinking.
For Oatmeal, Smoothies and Breakfast
Add ¼ to ½ teaspoon to oatmeal, yogurt, fruit bowls, smoothies, pancakes, toast toppings or overnight oats.
For Baking and Desserts
Use in cakes, cookies, cinnamon rolls, pies, muffins, granola, apple desserts and spice blends. Adjust the quantity to suit your recipe and preferred flavour strength.
For Curries and Cooking
Add a small amount to curries, sauces, rice dishes, marinades and savoury spice blends. Ceylon cinnamon has a gentle profile, so taste as you cook and adjust where needed.
Freshness and Storage
Keep your C5 grade Ceylon cinnamon powder in the original sealed pouch or an airtight container. Store it in a cool, dry cupboard away from heat, steam, direct sunlight and strong-smelling foods.
- Keep the pouch tightly sealed after each use.
- Use a clean, dry spoon only.
- Avoid storing close to the stove, sink or dishwasher.
- Keep unopened packs sealed until needed for the best aroma.

This batch, verified.
Most "Ceylon" cinnamon sold online is actually cassia — a different species with a very different composition. So we test every batch at Sri Lanka's national laboratory and publish the certificate.
| Test | Limit / spec | Result | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Species identification | Cinnamomum verum | Confirmed — Cinnamomum verum | PASS |
| Lead (Pb) | ≤ 1.0 ppm (NY action level) | 0.2 ppm | PASS |
| Arsenic (As) | ≤ 1.0 ppm | Not detected (<0.05) | PASS |
| Cadmium (Cd) | ≤ 0.5 ppm | 0.05 ppm | PASS |
| Mercury (Hg) | ≤ 0.1 ppm | Not detected (<0.05) | PASS |
Lead in cinnamon has been a recurring US recall story — species fraud and contamination are real. Testing is the only way to know. Our lead-testing standard →

Still deciding? See grades explained · sticks vs powder.
How do I know this is real Ceylon cinnamon?
Two ways. At home: real Ceylon quills are rolled from many paper-thin layers, light tan, and crumble by hand — cassia is one thick, rock-hard curl. From us: every batch's species is verified by an ISO/IEC 17025 lab and the certificate is published. Full guide: how to identify Ceylon cinnamon.
What's the difference between Alba and C5 grade?
Grades measure quill thinness — Alba is the thinnest, most delicate grade (the "champagne" of Ceylon cinnamon), C5 a step below and the everyday choice. Same species, same tree; the difference is craft and refinement. See our grades guide.
How much cinnamon can I use per day?
The relevant limit is coumarin, and true Ceylon contains only trace amounts — a typical adult stays far below the European guideline even at a few teaspoons daily, which is not true of cassia. Check your number by body weight with the safe cinnamon calculator, and see how much per day.
What about lead in cinnamon?
A fair question after the US recalls. This batch measured 0.2 ppm — a fifth of New York's 1.0 ppm action level, the strictest US benchmark — with arsenic and mercury not detected. The certificate is published here.
How fast is shipping to the USA?
Orders ship farm-direct from Sri Lanka with full tracking; typical US delivery is 8–12 days door-to-door. Every parcel includes its batch's Certificate of Analysis.

best company great quality also gave bonus
was great for tea
Sehr zu empfehlen! Ich bin mit der Ware und dem sehr guten Kontakt zum Verkäufer überaus zufrieden. Alle Produkte wurden sorgfältig verpackt und kamen in perfektem Zustand an. Eine schöne Überraschung war das kleine Geschenk – getrocknete Lotusblüten für Tee! Eine tolle Geste, die zeigt, wie professionell hier gearbeitet wird. Ich werde auf jeden Fall wieder hier einkaufen!
Thanks for high-quality products.
I seemed to relax and sleep well after making tea with 1-2 of these flowers and letting them steep for at least 10 minutes. It took a while for the order to be shipped, and then arrived safely after a week or so more, so roughly, allow 3-4 weeks until receipt. Thanks for the great-quality product! I didn’t really want the purple lotus with it, and would have preferred extra blue water lily, but I appreciate the kindness.
I received my order and am very pleased with it, and the added gift that came with. I do apologize about my last 1 star review, I feel foolish about it. Thank you all very much for the Lotus.
Most flavoured greens are either too sweet or taste artificial — soursop is hard to fake and easy to overdo. This blend gets it right. The Ceylon green tea base is clean and slightly grassy, and the soursop comes through as a delicate creamy-fruity aromatic on top. Beautifully done and genuinely refreshing.
Cold brewed overnight and it's incredible. Subtle fruit, smooth green tea finish.
This is my morning cup now. Gentle caffeine, lovely flavour, genuinely good for me.
Even my husband who normally hates herbal tea drinks this one. The green tea base helps.
Soft, smooth, fragrant. A pleasure morning or afternoon.
Brews clean even with a slightly long steep. A forgiving tea, which I appreciate.
Try it cold. I steep a heaped tablespoon in cold filtered water in the fridge overnight, strain in the morning, serve over ice. Genuinely incredible — smooth, slightly sweet from the soursop, never bitter. My summer drink of choice now.
Hint of fruit, smooth green tea body, no bitterness when brewed properly.
I've now experimented with this in roughly every way you can brew tea. Hot at 80°C for two minutes — clean, light, soursop subtle on top. Hot at 90°C for five minutes — bigger soursop note, slightly fuller body, never bitter (this blend is unusually forgiving). Cold brew overnight — my favourite, smooth and faintly sweet. Iced with mint and a slice of lime — incredible summer drink. Multiple cooking methods, all give a different lovely result. The leaf clearly has a lot to give. This is now my permanent green tea.
