Organic Ceylon Alba Cinnamon Sticks – Premium Quality from Sri Lanka

Centralsun Organic Ceylon Alba Cinnamon Sticks originate from Sri Lanka, the world’s most highly valued region for true Ceylon cinnamon. This is the highest and rarest quality grade – Alba – appreciated for its exceptionally light color, delicate structure, and elegant aroma.

If you are looking for cinnamon in its purest and most natural form, cinnamon sticks are the most authentic choice. They are made from carefully hand-rolled thin layers of cinnamon bark, creating the characteristic multi-layered structure. Alba grade sticks are especially fine, light, and uniform, clearly reflecting their superior quality.

What Makes Alba Cinnamon Sticks Special?

Ceylon cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum) is already valued as “true cinnamon,” but the Alba grade represents its highest level. In this grade, only the thinnest and most delicate bark is selected, which rolls tightly into a refined, multi-layered quill. The result is a light, elegant, and visually beautiful cinnamon stick.

Compared to standard Ceylon cinnamon, Alba stands out in several ways:

• Exceptionally light and uniform appearance

• Thinner and finer bark structure

• Milder, softer, and more balanced aroma

• A rarer and more carefully selected premium grade

Alba sticks do not produce strong or sharp spiciness. Instead, they create a soft, warm, and refined flavor nuance. This makes them ideal for beverages and recipes where balance is preferred over dominant spice intensity.

Origin and Traditional Craftsmanship

Sri Lanka is the birthplace of Ceylon cinnamon, and its climate provides ideal conditions for cinnamon trees to thrive. The bark is harvested by hand and traditionally rolled into sticks. This skill has been passed down through generations and requires precision and experience.

Centralsun Organic Ceylon Alba Cinnamon Sticks are dried below 40°C (104°F), qualifying them as raw food quality. Gentle low-temperature drying helps preserve the cinnamon’s natural color, aroma, and structure. The sticks are not exposed to high heat and contain no additives — they are pure, natural cinnamon bark.

Organic cultivation ensures that no synthetic pesticides or artificial fertilizers are used during the growing process. The result is a high-quality ingredient that reflects its natural origin.

Flavor and Aroma

Alba cinnamon sticks offer a warm, soft, and naturally slightly sweet aroma. They lack the sharp and bitter undertones often associated with cassia cinnamon. Instead, they provide a delicate, almost vanilla-like nuance and a clean, balanced spice profile.

When used in cooking or beverages, the flavor is released slowly and evenly, especially in hot liquids or simmered dishes. This allows for a controlled and refined result without becoming overly intense.

Ways to Use in the Kitchen

Cinnamon sticks are particularly suitable for slow flavor infusion, allowing the spice to release its character gradually. They work beautifully in both sweet and savory preparations.

Usage ideas include:

• Brewing tea and chai

• Flavoring coffee and hot chocolate

• Preparing mulled wine and other winter beverages

• Cooking rice or milk-based porridges

• Adding depth to compotes and baked apples

• Enhancing curries and slow-cooked stews

• Creating homemade spice blends

• Decorative use in desserts and drinks

The sticks can also be crushed or freshly ground when needed to create aromatic cinnamon powder. Freshly crushed cinnamon provides a particularly intense and vibrant flavor.

Quality You Can See and Taste

Alba grade cinnamon sticks are visually distinctive — light, thin, and multi-layered. This delicate layered structure clearly differentiates Ceylon cinnamon from cassia, which is typically thicker and single-layered.

At Centralsun, the goal is to offer products that combine pure origin with exceptional quality. Alba sticks are not mass-produced but carefully selected and sorted. Each batch meets strict quality standards to ensure uniform appearance and consistent flavor.

Drying below 40°C helps preserve the cinnamon’s natural properties and makes it suitable for those who prefer minimally processed foods. It is a raw food quality spice that maintains its natural integrity.

An Authentic and Elegant Choice

Organic Ceylon Alba Cinnamon Sticks are suitable for everyday use as well as special occasions. They add visual beauty and refined flavor to drinks and dishes. A cinnamon stick in a cup of hot tea or mulled wine instantly creates a warm and inviting atmosphere.

If you value quality, pure origin, and authentic taste, Alba grade cinnamon sticks are a choice that stands apart. Sri Lankan origin, organic cultivation, traditional craftsmanship, and low-temperature drying together create a product whose quality is evident both in appearance and in flavor.

Centralsun Organic Ceylon Alba Cinnamon Sticks are more than just a spice. They are a nature-inspired ingredient that brings warmth, balance, and timeless elegance into your kitchen.
