Our Korintji Cinnamon, ground from the branch of a small evergreen tree native to the lush lands of Assam and northern Myanmar, is also known as Chinese cinnamon. This unique spice boasts a distinctive deep reddish-brown hue and offers an intense, subtly bitter, yet aromatic profile. Unlike its Ceylon cousin, Korintji cinnamon introduces an engaging astringent note and a less intense but equally enticing fragrance. While its usage traditionally leans towards sweet dishes, the versatility of Korintji cinnamon allows it to be a remarkable addition to many recipes, bridging the divide between sweet and savory.
