From tree to dock

Processing our Ceylon Cinnamon Quills

01

Harvesting & peeling

Shoots are harvested by hand at the right maturity; skilled peelers scrape the outer bark and lift the inner bark in long strips.

02

Drying & rolling

As it dries the bark curls into quills; smaller strips nest inside larger ones, then dry under controlled conditions to lock in aroma.

03

Grading & QC

Every batch is sorted by thickness, colour and aroma and checked against microbiological and purity standards.

04

Packing

Packed to spec — bulk export cartons, retail-ready pouches or private label — with full batch traceability back to source.
