The True
Cinnamon

Grown in the lush landscapes of Ceylon, true Ceylon cinnamon is a rare and revered spice. Unlike the widely available cassia variety, it offers a gentler, sweeter flavor and is naturally low in coumarin; making it the healthiest, most refined cinnamon in the world.

Ceylon Cinnamon Quills

Six expressions of
a single truth

Each grade of Ceylon Cinnamon tells a different story of texture, age, and purpose; yet all share the same heritage of purity and craft. From the feather-light Alba to the bold H grades, The Merchant stewards them all with the same uncompromising standard.

GRADE 01
Alba
THE RAREST · FINEST LUXURY

Feather-light and pencil-thin, Alba quills are a symbol of luxury; smooth in texture, delicate in flavor, and visually exquisite. Reserved for fine dining, artisanal creations, and those who seek only the best.

GRADE 02
C5
ELEGANT · FRAGRANT

Slightly fuller than Alba, yet still remarkably smooth and fragrant. These quills offer elegance with a little more body; ideal for premium culinary use and refined infusions.

GRADE 03
C4
BALANCED · VERSATILE

A graceful balance between finesse and intensity. Slightly thicker bark with a deeper hue and warm, rounded flavor; perfect for both sweet and savory applications.

GRADE 04
M5 / M4
TEXTURED · ROBUST

More textured and robust, these quills retain the gentle sweetness of true Ceylon cinnamon while offering a heartier bite. Ideal for teas, spice blends, and traditional recipes.

GRADE 05
H1 / H2
BOLD · EARTHY

Harvested from more mature bark, these grades bring a bold, earthy presence. Less uniform in shape, but rich in depth; perfect for large-batch brewing or infusing warm complexity into slow-cooked dishes.

GRADE 06
Oil
ESSENTIAL · POTENT

Extracted from the bark or leaves, Ceylon cinnamon oil is a potent essential oil prized for its warm, spicy fragrance. Rich in cinnamaldehyde, known for its antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant qualities.
