Organic Ceylon Cinnamon Quills

Fine, layered true-cinnamon quills with a delicate sweetness and warm aroma for chai, infusions, curries, desserts and freshly ground spice.

SpiceBloom Organic Ceylon Cinnamon Quills are made from the inner bark of the Cinnamomum verum tree. The bark is carefully layered and hand-rolled into slender quills with the delicate, multi-layered structure associated with true Ceylon cinnamon.

Their flavour is sweet, aromatic and gently warm rather than aggressively hot. Use whole quills to infuse drinks and slow-cooked dishes, break them into pieces for chai and mulled recipes, or grind small batches whenever freshly ground cinnamon is preferred.

What C5 means: C5 is a Continental Grade used for finely formed Ceylon cinnamon quills. The layered bark is more delicate than the thick, solid structure commonly seen in cassia-style cinnamon sticks.

Why C5 Ceylon Cinnamon Quills Stand Apart

The appeal lies in their fine layered construction, delicate aroma and versatility as both a whole and freshly ground spice.

🌀

Fine Layered Structure

Multiple thin pieces of inner bark are rolled together to form a light, layered quill rather than a single thick curl.

✨

Sweet, Delicate Aroma

Ceylon cinnamon offers a fragrant sweetness and gentle warmth that works across sweet and savoury cooking.

⚙️

Whole or Freshly Ground

Break into pieces for infusions and simmered dishes, or grind small amounts for baking, porridge and spice blends.

Ceylon Cinnamon Quills vs Cassia Sticks

Ceylon cinnamon comes from Cinnamomum verum and is traditionally formed from several thin layers of inner bark. The finished quills are generally lighter, more fragile and more finely layered than the thick, hard sticks often sold as cassia cinnamon.

The flavour also differs. Ceylon cinnamon is known for a softer, sweeter and more complex aromatic profile, while cassia-style cinnamon is usually bolder, hotter and more direct.

Neither format is universally better for every recipe. Ceylon quills are especially useful when a delicate cinnamon aroma is wanted in chai, desserts, infusions and refined spice blends.

How to Use Whole Cinnamon Quills

  • Chai: Break one or two quills into pieces and simmer with cardamom, cloves, ginger and black tea.
  • Infusions: Add a broken quill to hot water with lemon or ginger and steep before serving.
  • Curries and rice: Add whole or broken pieces during cooking, then remove before serving if preferred.
  • Mulled drinks: Simmer with citrus peel, cloves and other warming spices.
  • Desserts: Infuse milk, cream, custard, poached fruit or syrup with a whole quill.
  • Fresh grinding: Break into short pieces and pulse in a suitable spice grinder until finely milled.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Ceylon cinnamon quills be ground?

Yes. Break the delicate quills into short pieces and grind them in a suitable spice or coffee grinder. Work in small batches and allow the grinder to cool when necessary.

What does C5 Continental Grade mean?

C5 is a grade used for finely formed Ceylon cinnamon quills. It refers to the quill’s construction and appearance rather than a separate cinnamon species.

Are Ceylon cinnamon quills the same as cassia sticks?

No. Ceylon cinnamon is made from Cinnamomum verum and forms fine layered quills. Cassia sticks are generally thicker, harder and stronger in flavour.

Can the same quill be infused more than once?

A quill may retain some flavour after its first infusion, although the second use will usually be milder. Allow it to dry fully between uses and discard it if its appearance or aroma changes.

Beets powder

This product is the ingredient I have been missing in my smoothies since I can't remember, adds a lovely colour and flavour leaving me wanting more, even a small amount in a glass for a morning kick is perfect. If it clumps you will need a power mixer but generally I use that, so no issues. A healthy additive to any recipe whether a protein shake or a morning blend, this product will make it that much more.
