Grown and foraged for us by our friends at Eko Land, a community of organic farmers from the heart of Sri Lanka! This very special cinnamon is a freshly ground blend, developed just for us. It's equal parts "Peni" or sweet, honey-tasting chips from younger trees, and then "Miris" or extra spicy chips from wild old-growth trees.

This Peni Miris cinnamon really brings a distinct and beautiful flavor. The combination of sweet and spicy notes is fantastic for baking and hot drinks, much more nuanced than any other cinnamon I've tried. It's a staple in my pantry now.
This cinnamon is so fragrant and tastes amazing in everything.
I've been looking for a cinnamon with more character, and this Peni Miris blend is exactly it. The sweet honey notes paired with that gentle spice are just exquisite in my crumbles and custards. It truly elevates a simple dessert into something special, much better than the cassia I was using before. Definitely recommend for anyone who loves baking.
I was really looking forward to a unique cinnamon flavor, but this just didn't deliver for me. The 'extra spicy' part was much too overpowering, making it unsuitable for the delicate desserts I wanted to use it in. I found it created an odd heat that clashed with the other sweet ingredients instead of complementing them.
This cinnamon is definitely bold, perhaps too much so. The 'extra spicy' aspect really dominated everything I put it in, even in small amounts. It wasn't quite the sweet-spicy balance I had hoped for in my baking.
