Cinnamon has a legacy as rich as its flavor. First recorded in ancient Egyptian texts over 3,000 years ago, cassia cinnamon was valued as a luxury item for embalming and perfume. Arab traders introduced it to ancient Greeks, Romans, and Hebrews, where it became a prized culinary spice and a key ingredient in spiced wine. By the 15th century, it was one of the most sought-after spices in global trade, cherished by European explorers and Middle Eastern cooks alike.

Cassia cinnamon’s role extends beyond the kitchen. In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), it’s used to warm the body, support circulation, and balance vital energy or "chi." In Ayurveda, it’s called “twak” and is thought to support digestion, the respiratory system, and overall vitality, especially for individuals who feel cold or frail.

Unlike true cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum), cassia sticks are thicker, rougher, and curl inward from both sides. Their sweet and slightly spicy flavor is perfect for bold dishes and beverages, making them a versatile and timeless spice.

Whether you're steeping them in tea, crafting spiced mulled wine, or simply enjoying their uplifting aroma, cassia cinnamon sticks are a flavorful way to connect with history and enhance everyday moments.
