Premium Ceylon Cinnamon Quills – "True Cinnamon" Sticks
The chef’s secret for authentic flavour. 🌿
If you are used to the rock-hard cinnamon sticks from the supermarket, get ready for a surprise. Real Ceylon Cinnamon quills are delicate, flaky, and packed with complex floral notes.
Sourced directly from Sri Lanka, SpiceBloom’s **Premium Ceylon Cinnamon Quills** are hand-rolled from the inner bark of the Cinnamomum verum tree. Unlike harsh Cassia bark, these quills are soft, brittle, and bursting with a sweet, citrusy aroma that elevates curries, teas, and desserts without overpowering them.
🌟 How to Spot "Real" Cinnamon (The Cigar Test)
Not sure if you have the good stuff? Look closely at the quill.
- ✅ True Ceylon (Ours): Looks like a tightly rolled cigar. Filled with multiple thin, papery layers. You can crush it easily with your fingers.
- ❌ Fake Cinnamon (Cassia): Looks like a hollow tube. One thick, hard layer of bark. Extremely hard to break.
🔥 Why Chefs Choose SpiceBloom Quills
- ✅ 100% True Cinnamon: Authentic Sri Lankan origin. No cheap Cassia substitutes.
- ✅ Naturally Low Coumarin: Safe for daily use in teas and health tonics.
- ✅ Infusion Power: The flaky layers release flavour slowly and evenly into liquids.
- ✅ Best Value: Premium cafe-quality quills at a better price than our Certified Organic range.
🥣 3 Delicious Ways to Use Whole Quills
- 1. The "Comfort" Tea: Simmer one quill in water with ginger and honey for a soothing immunity tea.
- 2. Authentic Curries: Drop a whole stick into your butter chicken or beef rendang. It adds a subtle warmth that powder can't match.
- 3. Mulled Wine & Cider: The essential ingredient for festive drinks. The quill looks beautiful and tastes divine.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. Why are these quills soft/brittle?
That is a sign of quality! True Ceylon cinnamon is made of many thin, paper-like layers rolled together. It is supposed to be fragile. If a cinnamon stick is rock hard, it is likely Cassia (lower quality).
2. Can I grind these myself?
Yes! Because Ceylon quills are soft, you can easily break them up and grind them in a coffee grinder to make the freshest cinnamon powder you've ever tasted.
3. Where can I buy cinnamon sticks in NZ?
SpiceBloom offers authentic Ceylon Cinnamon Quills online in NZ. We import directly from Sri Lanka to ensure you aren't getting old, flavourless sticks that have sat on shelves for years.

So fresh
Love it
Bought to spread round amaryllis lilies - apparently oats repel slugs/snails. We will see. I used to like oats, but as vac injured son became gluten sensitive, I no longer buy them for just me. Happy to share them with the snail population until they move house. meantime will hise the packet from son.
Yum top notch pumpkin seeds love the quality 😋
Perfect
Great communication through the whole sales process, value for money and quick postage with regular updates. Products well priced, fresh, tasty and smell divine. Recommended!
Great product and price but the freight took some time.
Great Value
Excellent cacao powder and I'm very happy to find an organic cacao - tastes great.
Very happy to have found this organic ashwagandha,. Great product,
Absolutely fabulous and high quality! Very happy customer :)
Very good, most shells open easily. Nice nuts. Just the right amount of sal.
My second order of this product speaks for itself.
Very easy. Product quality always great. Shipping always prompt. New letters informative. It'd be great if shipping was free for repeat customers. When you only require a small quantity of spices replaced the shipping charge can make it not so price competitive.
