Organic Cassia Cinnamon Quills
Bold, sweet and warming whole cinnamon from India for curries, baking, spiced drinks and slow-cooked dishes.
SpiceBloom Organic Cassia Cinnamon Quills bring the familiar warmth and rich aroma of cassia cinnamon to both sweet and savoury cooking. Grown on certified-organic farms in India, these whole cinnamon pieces deliver a bold flavour with natural sweetness and a gently spicy finish.
Add them whole to curries, stews, sauces, rice dishes and spiced beverages, then remove before serving. For baking or smaller recipes, break off a piece or grind only what you need for a fresher, more concentrated cinnamon aroma.
Cassia cinnamon is especially useful when you want a confident cinnamon flavour that can stand up to long simmering, rich sauces and strongly flavoured ingredients.
Why Cook with Whole Cinnamon?
Whole cinnamon releases its flavour gradually, giving you control over how much warmth and sweetness develops in the dish.
Ideal for Simmering
Add whole pieces to curries, stews, sauces and rice so the cinnamon infuses slowly during cooking.
Perfect for Drinks
Use in chai, hot chocolate, mulled drinks, cider and other warming spiced beverages.
Grind Only What You Need
Break or grind small amounts for baking, porridge, desserts and homemade spice blends.
What Does Cassia Cinnamon Taste Like?
Cassia cinnamon has a bold, familiar cinnamon flavour with pronounced sweetness, warming spice and a rich woody aroma.
Compared with the gentler character of Ceylon cinnamon, cassia is generally fuller and more direct. This makes it especially suitable for curries, stews, strongly spiced drinks and recipes where the cinnamon needs to remain noticeable.
Easy Ways to Use It
- Curries and stews: Add a piece during simmering, then remove before serving.
- Rice dishes: Cook with basmati rice, biryani or pilaf for warm aromatic depth.
- Chai and tea: Simmer with cardamom, cloves, ginger and black tea.
- Mulled drinks: Add to cider, wine or fruit-based winter drinks.
- Baking: Grind small amounts for cakes, biscuits, pies and cinnamon rolls.
- Porridge and desserts: Use freshly ground cinnamon over oats, yoghurt or baked fruit.
Cassia or Ceylon Cinnamon?
Both are genuine cinnamon products, but their flavour and structure make them suited to slightly different uses.
Organic Cassia Cinnamon Quills
Choose cassia when you want a bold, sweet and spicy cinnamon flavour for curries, stews, baking and strong spiced drinks.
Prefer a More Delicate Cinnamon?
Organic Ceylon Cinnamon Quills offer a lighter, more delicate character for gentle teas, desserts and recipes where a softer cinnamon flavour is preferred.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between cassia and Ceylon cinnamon?
Cassia generally has a bolder, sweeter and more strongly spiced flavour, while Ceylon cinnamon is usually lighter and more delicate.
Can the quills be ground at home?
Yes. Break them into smaller pieces first, then use a suitable spice grinder. Cassia is firm, so avoid overloading the grinder.

Yes. When used whole in curries, rice, stews or drinks, remove the cinnamon pieces before serving.
How should the cinnamon be stored?
Keep it securely sealed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, heat and moisture.

The best cinnamon quills I have bought yet, and I've tried quite a few. Make the best mulled wine I've made. Jokingly tell friends my brew is wine-flavoured cinnamon. They'll last a long time, so better search other products SpiceBloom sell!
