Description
The cinnamon tree is part of the Lauraceae family. Probably originating from China it is now known to grow in Sri Lanka, Madagascar, Brazil and Indonesia.
The tree itself is a tropical evergreen ranging in height from 5 – 15 metres (45ft) and grows best in sand.
Our oil comes from sustainable plantations in Indonesia. When the bark is stripped it forms familiar cylindrical quills which are then powered before being steam distilled to create one of the world’s best known spices.
The bark only yields 0.5 – 1.0% oil. It is highly fragrant but also expensive so its use is limited to fine fragrances and aromatherapy.
Referenced in many perfumes for its spicy, oriental and woody notes it is a common ingredient on the perfumer’s palette for both masculine fragrances and in women’s perfumes. Some known references are Le Male, Jean Paul Gaultier, Old Spice, Boss Bottled by Hugo Boss and Opium by Yves Saint Laurent.
As an aromatherapy oil its primary benefits are said to beneficial in supporting and maintaining a healthy immune and metabolic system. The oil is rich in minerals such as manganese, iron, calcium and fiber.

Latest Market Information August 1, 2024
Cinnamon is native to Sri Lanka, Myanmar, and the Malabar coast of India. It also grows in South America and the West Indies. Cinnamon prospers in a warm and humid climate with temperatures in the range of 27 oC. Long spells of dry weather are harmful to the plant. The last three years have been challenging for Cinnamon. Between 2020 and 2022, the market declined due to the COVID pandemic. There was diminishing farmer interest in the product, and the price was reduced as well. In 2023, the market continued to be slow, though stocks from the previous year were still in circulation. Heavy rainfall and farmer disinterest saw production levels remain low. This year, the raw material shortage continues due to unfavourable weather conditions. While demand is increasing, there is no supply in the market. Fresh stock is expected to hit the market soon, though volumes will not be sufficient to meet demand. A spike in price is expected due to limited supply.
