Organic Ceylon Cinnamon, Single Estate, Freshly Ground Premium Sri Lanka Cinnamon, Non-GMO, Fair-Trade & Gluten Free in Resealable Jar for Cooking, Smoothies, Lattes & TeaUSDA Organic

UPDATED on August 2, 2023. Yay!! Glass jar arrived safely in my Subscribe and Save carton shipped with U.S.P.S. and 11 other items this month! Thrilled that Amazon heard me regarding the need for sturdier box for several of the items that arrived in horrible conditions in previous order. Thank you!!Why I purchased this: I've been searching for the past year for real cinnamon that wasn't a mix of cassia types that most Americans think is how cinnamon is supposed to taste. The Saigon, Vietnamese cassia types taste like the red hots candy. Spicy with a kick of peppery sweetness and orange red in color, slightly more coarse in texture and is quite tasty. Unfortunately, it is loaded with coumarin that is known to damage your kidneys, doesn't lower blood sugar and is not safe to eat more than a 1/4 of a teaspoon daily which is fine if all you want is a few sprinkles on your pear, or to flavor your cup of tea or coffee. However, I'm in my 70s and have fragile health and inflammation so I need to avoid cassia cinnamon completely as I eat much more of this daily than is safe. Now, on to the pros and cons of this specific True Cinnamon product that I was so excited to find.Pro and Con: The Seller has an excellent product, but the poor packaging (virtually none) shattered the glass and needs to be changed to a food safe paper bag so it can be shipped safely. I had to request a refund from Amazon and they took responsibility for the packaging. I would buy 4 or 5 packages at a time if the Seller would ship it themselves with tons of bubble wrap, and in a sturdy carton with even more bubble wrap to survive the rough handling of delivery drivers. A Kraft food safe type bag that I could transfer into my own glass container once it arrived would solve this problem. I know it's twice the price of the cassia and the former Sri Lanka Diyesta brand that used to be sold on Amazon in 1 pound Kraft bags with a zip-lock closing that always needed to be transferred to a better glass container because it wouldn't reseal well. Unfortunately, it appears that they are no longer in business and believe me, I've searched the world for anyone who still had packages of this still available. The family owned business since 1936 just couldn't compete with the bigger companies during COVID and it is our loss.I strained the WAAYB Organic Ceylon Cinnamon powdery cinnamon through a fine metal mesh to attempt to remove the shards of glass so that I could taste it. It took about an hour to gather about one Tablespoon that I felt was likely safe enough to ingest, but it was worth it to attempt what I was sure was the real deal by the color, aroma, and floral fine texture that is the hallmark of cinnamon verum. It's THAT good! I can't praise this product enough because it's the REAL DEAL and I sincerely hope the One Farm by WAAYB Organic Ceylon Cinnamon, Single Estate, Freshly Ground Premium Sri Lanka Cinnamon, Non-GMO, Fair-Trade & Gluten Free in Resealable Jar responds to my suggestions because their product is so worth it to me and it is everything I had hoped it would be. This would be worth 10 Granny Gems if it arrived in usable condition to my door! I don't give those gems out to very many things I purchase, and if you read my reviews you will see that a regular Amazon rating of 1 to 5 stars is my usual. I hope my review makes it easier to decide which type of cinnamon you need and/or prefer.

High quality and wonderful taste and smell.

This is a fantastic cinnamon. Aside from being organic and from a a single farm, it tastes great. When I opened the sealed glass container, I was met just the most wonderful aromatic notes. You will have a customer for life.

I'd heard of Ceylon Cinnamon, and I finally purchased this brand just to see if there was a difference between this and the regular Cinnamon I've purchased at the grocery store for years. Yes, it is way more potent and delicious!!

There are two kinds of cinnamon. This one that has little to no curcumin in it. If you don’t know, curcumin is toxic. It is in high amounts in Saigon cinnamon. But this is Ceylon Cinnamon. And this company has some of the best. It is almost a powder. It is smooth and sweet in booth taste and texture. If is much different than so my thing that just says cinnamon. I have researched cinnamon and if you eat cinnamon daily for health reasons like helping to reduce and control your sugar/glucose levels in your body, then you probably should go with organic Ceylon cinnamon. If you are used to the cinnamon that you can buy in huge amounts at some stores and don’t care if it really comes from one of the two only actual trees whose bark produces true cinnamon, I would suggest you try this for comparison. It will be milder and not have that hot peppery after taste. This is mild and sweet. I had been using the only other true cinnamon, organic Saigon, but when I found out the amount I was using was bordering on toxic levels to my kidneys, liver and pancreas, and that the peppery cinnamon taste was the toxic curcumin. I stopped using it and after looking at many different brands thought this one might be very good and it is. I will be purchasing it again.

I bought Ceylon cinnamon because of the reported health benefits. It is more expensive than other types. The taste is more subtle and mild. The smell is not as strong. The Vietnamese cinnamon that I have is sweeter and aromatic. For adding to food and drinks I find the Vietnamese more preferable. However, if you want to add it to your drinks for heath benefits, reports indicate that the Ceylon one is better.

It’s cinnamon! Can’t really tell the difference between this from others I’ve tried. Don’t take me wrong! It’s still good! Just not like WOW! The container is nice too!

This cinnamon is very mild, but it tastes delicious. I will purchase this again. The smell is not strong and powder is not clumped together.
