Premium Organic Ceylon Natural Cinnamon Sticks from Sri Lanka (3 oz) Ceylon's Finest HandpickedUSDA Organic

As other reviewers have said, this cinnamon has no aroma out of the package, even holding it up to your nose or breaking it into pieces (which is very easy to do). Apparently, that's how it should be.When you cook with it however, the aroma comes out and the flavor is wonderful.It's *nothing* like the cinnamon typically found in the grocery store. In fact, I don't care for cinnamon - the cinnamon I'm used to has a strong 'bite' that I don't like, but after reading about this type of 'real' cinnamon I decided to give it a try. I wasn't disappointed at all and have ordered a larger bag of it.I've been experimenting with some Mexican dishes that called for "Mexican cinnamon", or "real cinnamon" and this is it. So far I've made horchata and flan with it, and it's delicious.Of course, the longer it steeps in a hot liquid the more flavor you'll get. I think I'm hooked on it, and am looking for more recipes that I can use it in.If you're expecting or wanting the same flavor, 'bite' or aroma you find in the cinnamon commonly sold in U.S. grocery stores, this isn't for you.

Great cinnamon sticks. Great color and size. I thought they were a good value for this special cinnamon. I was sorry to hear that they were discontinued.

Very good product, nice aroma, original.

Will not be repurchashing. I usually buy local but wanted to try ordering on Amazon. The quality isn't great. No cinnamon. It tastes like I'm drinking wood bark when soaked in warm to hot water.Edit: I was wrong. Some sticks are flavorful. It's a hit and miss. May repurchase again.

Very helpful great taste works great so far

I made the mistake of ordering these not realizing there was a difference between this type of cinnamon and the type I usually use.If you’re a fan of the “usual” cinnamon, this product is not for you.I always put about 1/4 of a stick of cinnamon in my tea, and it gives it the perfect flavor. I used a half of a stick of this cinnamon and there is zero flavor. It does not taste like cinnamon at all; you might as well go outside and get a twig and use that.It’s also a lot softer, so it falls apart in my tea. There’s big chunks and a million tiny pieces and strings.

Strong and very aromatic, with a good size for its price in addition to the health benefits.

No big cinnamon burst of a smell when I opened the bag, and then didn't see that many sticks as I'd hoped for either but that'd been ok if I could just smell cinnamon. It was a weak smell holding one right under my nose... Maybe this is normal, haven't purchased any before, anywhere, but I'll pass on a repurchase.
