Authentic Hand-Peeled True Ceylon Cinnamon Quills & Low-Coumarin Powder
Unlike Chinese or Indonesian Cassia, authentic Sri Lankan True Cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum) is hand-peeled from tender inner bark into fragile, multi-layered concentric cigar quills. Imperial Enterprises coordinates directly with master peeling collectives across Galle and Matara, delivering ISO 22000 and EU/USDA Organic certified consignments with batch-level HPLC coumarin, moisture, and microbiological Certificates of Analysis.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you guarantee 100% pure Ceylon Cinnamon with zero Cassia contamination?
Cassia imports are legally prohibited from entering Sri Lankan cinnamon processing zones. Every Imperial Enterprises batch is sourced directly from Southern Sri Lanka estates and backed by botanical authentication and HPLC coumarin testing (<0.004%).
Can you supply pre-cut cinnamon sticks and retail-ready private label jars?
Yes. We cut Alba and C5 quills to precision lengths (5 cm, 7.5 cm, 10 cm, or custom dimensions) and pack them into private-label glass jars, tin caddies, or stand-up barrier pouches with GS1 barcodes.
Is steam sterilization available for European and US nutraceutical buyers?
Yes. We offer validated non-irradiated steam sterilization meeting strict US FDA, ASTA, and European Spice Association (ESA) microbiological limits while preserving volatile cinnamaldehyde oils.
