Organic Cinnamon Cassia Sticks

Organic Cinnamon Cassia Sticks come from the bark of the Cinnamomum cassia tree, the most widely used cinnamon variety in the world. Cassia cinnamon is bolder, spicier, and more robust than its milder cousin Ceylon cinnamon, making it the preferred choice for baking, cooking, and spiced beverages across North America and Asia.

Flavor Profile

Cassia cinnamon has a warm, intensely sweet-spicy flavor with a slightly peppery heat. The sticks have a strong, inviting aroma that fills any room. Compared to Ceylon cinnamon, cassia is more assertive and holds its flavor better during long cooking and simmering processes. This makes it ideal for stews, mulled drinks, and slow-cooked dishes.

How to Use Cinnamon Cassia Sticks

These whole sticks are incredibly versatile:

• Simmer in chai, mulled wine, apple cider, and hot chocolate
• Add to rice dishes, curries, and tagines during cooking
• Use as a stirring stick for coffee and cocktails
• Grind fresh in a spice grinder for the most potent cinnamon powder
• Include in pickling brines and poaching liquids

Tea brands also use cassia sticks in chai blends, spiced apple teas, and warming winter infusions.

Cassia vs Ceylon Cinnamon

Cassia cinnamon has a thicker bark and a single-curl stick shape, while Ceylon cinnamon has multiple thin layers and a milder taste. Most commercial cinnamon products in the United States use cassia because of its stronger flavor and lower cost.
