Grades of Ceylon Cinnamon

Grades of Ceylon Cinnamon

Mainly Ceylon Cinnamon is categorised into 4 major grades, They are Alba, Continental, Mexican and Hamburg. This is based on the diameter of the cinnamon sticks(quills), Most expensive grade is Alba. It is a 6 mm diameter quill.

Alba Cinnamon

 

Alba Cinnamon is considered as the highest grade of Ceylon cinnamon that is available in the cinnamon market. Since it is prepared by taking the finest and thin inner bark of Ceylon cinnamon tree, in nature, this grade of cinnamon is very rare, and at the same time provides top quality taste of Ceylon cinnamon. Accordingly, Alba Cinnamon grade has a top price in the market due to these unique characteristics.

Alba Cinnamon comes to the market in the form of sticks as well as powder. In general, the diameter size of an Alba Cinnamon stick varies between 6 mm to 7 mm (closer to the size of a pencil). Furthermore, this cinnamon grade is very light golden-brown in terms of its color.

C5 Special

 

C5 Special is another high-quality cinnamon grade which is available in Sri Lanka. In fact, it can be recognized as the second highest quality cinnamon grade (which is only second to Alba Cinnamon). Similar to Alba Cinnamon, C5 Special is also famous for its character, taste, smell and excellent flavor. Moreover, this grade of Ceylon cinnamon is very much popular in the European market. In terms of the size, the diameter of C5 Special varies between 7 mm to 9 mm.

C5

 

Following C5 Special cinnamon grade, C5 comes as the third highest quality cinnamon type which is available in Sri Lanka. Being smooth and slender in appearance, C5 grade of cinnamon is sweet in taste and deep yellow in color. As far as the size of the diameter is concerned, it varies between 10 mm to 12 mm.

C4

 

C4 is another cinnamon grade which falls under Continental cinnamon category. Compared to C5 Special and C5, the quality of C4 is quite low. Nevertheless, it is also popular and in demand for its smoothness exquisite fragrance, pale yellow color, and sweet taste. When it comes to the diameter size of C4 cinnamon grade, it varies from 13 mm to 14 mm.

M5

 

Out of the Mexican cinnamon grades, M5 grade can be identified as best quality of cinnamon, the sticks of which are golden brown (or with slightly reddish color patches on the surface of the quills) and thinner in appearance. Further, it is relatively rough and coarse in texture. In terms of the diameter size of M5 cinnamon grade, it varies from 16 mm to 18 mm.    

M4 

 

In nature, M4 cinnamon grade is very much similar to M5 cinnamon grade and mainly differs from the latter in terms of the diameter size which is usually lies between 18 mm to 20 mm. Due to its pleasant smell and taste, it is highly popular in Mexico and European countries.

Hamburg (H)

 

The H grade of cinnamon has 5 types of sub grades that have been categorized as H1, H2 Super, H2 Normal, H2 FAQ and H3. Unlike other cinnamon grades of which the best quality is denoted by the largest number, here, H1 is considered to be the finest and most expensive type above all. Moreover, H1 is highly demanded by the South Americans. H2 Super is thicker than H1 and it contains golden yellow cinnamon quills of high quality. Up to 90% of H2 Normal consists largely of golden yellow cinnamon quills and it is thicker than H2 Super. Likewise, H2 FAQ consists of brittle quills of H2 grade and thicker than all the above. H3 is can be treated as the thickest out of all the Hamburg cinnamon categories and comprises of rough cinnamon bark made of brittle quills.

Quillings

 

There are three Quilling cinnamon grades namely, Quillings No.1, Quillings No.2 and Quillings No.3 which result from the bailing process. These three types of cinnamon have been segregated based on the size of their broken pieces where Quillings No. 1 contains the largest broken pieces followed by the other two grades in order.

Working with Golden Cinnamon company was truly a pleasure. More importantly the spices arrived fresh and amazing. These spices are massively better than the "old" packages you get in the store or online (they never say how old they are). Here we know the year of harvest and boy the fresh smell from each spice is like taking an exotic trip to lands far away.We started this journey for heath benefits provided by these incredible ancient spices, and ended up making friends with the team at Golden Cinnamon.I hope you, the reader, choose to take the same amazing journey.Jeff

The package arrived damaged and the invoice stated sticks instead of cinnamon powder. Several of my emails bounced and I finally used the website to contact them. Calling is very intermittent. Only got through once in 10 tries. Since the cinnamon powder was leaking out of the box, decided to open the box and inspect. One of the packages had been punctured or burst and there was cinnamon powder all over the inside of the box. We tasted it and it lacks the flavor of the organic Sri Lankan powder we bought from Earth Fare and it is not ground as fine (slightly gritty). We asked for a refund and received it after some delay. The quality is not bad but I hope they take the grind fineness comment to heart.

It is very hard to find superior cinnamon in our American stores, so I was pleased to discover. Ceylon Golden Cinnamon as a seller of Ceylon cinnamon from Sri Lanka. Ceylon cinnamon is king in the world of cinnamon because of its healing attributes. If you take time to read about the healthbenefits of Ceylon cinnamon, you'll be impressed. Be it diabetes, heart disease, mental deterioration, and many more disabilities, it's a bit of a miracle worker. It definitely has been for me. I have an autoimmune condition that has been brought under control because of Ceylon cinnamon. Furthermore, no other type of cinnamon produces these health effects. Sound too good to be true? Cinnamon as a healer has been around for many hundreds of years. Google "Ceylon Cinnamon Benefits" and get the good news yourself.

It is very difficult to find ceylon cinnamon of high quality in UAE, initially i was hesitating to order direct from Sri lanka but eventually i ordered, trust me it was the best decision i made( because i was looking for ceylon cinnamon from ages), specially their response was sharp and very helpful and was continuously informing me about the details. Packaging and quality of the cinnamon was really good and the best part they provide a letter from their Government also regarding the quality and authenticity of ceylon cinnamon.Order delivered within a week which was quick because i didn't paid for express shipment.I will Highly recommend it to all who will be wiling to order internationally. For sure i will order again

I ordered the Ceylon sticks. They did came in very good quality. Each stick is the same length as the website described. It took a while for me to get the shipment but it is worth the wait. Gayan at Golden Cinnamon has been great at emailing me and calling me frequently to keep me informed of the shipment status. I would order from them again.

I use it instead of sugar in my coffee. Much better than product off the shelf. Takes a few weeks to get it but worth the wait.
