Where to Buy Real Ceylon Cinnamon in New Zealand – Powder & Quills Guide

Ceylon cinnamon—often called “true cinnamon”—is prized around the world for its sweet aroma, delicate flavour, and low coumarin content. But here in New Zealand, finding authentic Ceylon cinnamon can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack.

If you've ever googled "buy Ceylon cinnamon" or "Ceylon cinnamon near me" and landed on overpriced or questionable products, you're not alone. In this guide, we’ll show you where to buy high-quality Ceylon cinnamon powder and quills, explain how it's different from supermarket cinnamon, and why Kiwis are switching to it for both flavour and health.

Why Ceylon Cinnamon Is Worth It

Most cinnamon sold in NZ supermarkets is cassia cinnamon—cheaper, stronger, but with a bitter edge and high coumarin levels (a compound that can be toxic in large doses). Ceylon cinnamon, on the other hand:

  • Has a mild, sweet, floral flavour
  • Is safer for daily use (especially for people using cinnamon for blood sugar or cholesterol)
  • Comes from Sri Lanka, where the world’s best cinnamon is grown
  • Has thinner, more delicate bark (quills) and a brighter colour

Our Ceylon Cinnamon Products (Delivered NZ-Wide)

At SpiceBloom, we stock two premium options—both packed in small batches in New Zealand for freshness and longer shelf life.

✅ Ceylon Cinnamon Powder – Fine Ground

Perfect for smoothies, baking, pancakes, cinnamon toast, and warm milk before bed. Finely milled from pure Ceylon sticks, with a naturally sweet, warm aroma.

✅ Ceylon Cinnamon Quills – Whole Sticks

Ideal for cinnamon tea, curries, infusions, or decorative baking. These are full-length, delicate quills, not the thick, brittle cassia sticks found in most stores.

Both products are non-organic but extremely high quality, sourced directly and packed with care.
