Guangxi Cassia Bark – Often called true Chinese cinnamon, this aromatic bark comes straight from small farms in Guangxi's lush highlands. These thick, tightly rolled quills (typically 10-12cm long) offer an intense sweetness with the characteristic warm punch that distinguishes cassia from milder Ceylon varieties.
Why Our Cassia Stands Out:
• Fresh-harvest suppleness: These quills bend (not snap) when fresh, revealing oily inner bark when broken – a sign of peak flavor
• Small-batch purity: Direct from Guangxi growers with no blending or artificial curing
• Potent aroma: 2-3% volatile oil content (versus 1-1.5% in aged/commercial batches)
Usage:
Whole: Add 1-2 quills to master stocks, pho broth or mulled wine
• Ground: Perfect for five-spice powder (combine with Sichuan pepper + star anise)
• Modern Twist: Infuse in coffee or chocolate desserts for depth
