From the cinnamon belt to your supply chain.
Every batch of CeySpice cinnamon is sourced, processed and checked in Sri Lanka. Here's how we protect the quality you're paying for.
Sri Lanka's southern cinnamon belt.
The coastal belt spanning Galle, Matara and Hambantota is the heartland of global Ceylon cinnamon production.
Its tropical climate, sandy soils and centuries of expertise make it uniquely suited to growing the world's finest cinnamon. Our bark is hand-harvested and processed by experienced peelers using traditional techniques that preserve the delicate, layered quill structure.
We're based in Aluthgama, right in this region, so we can visit suppliers, inspect stock and oversee packing in person.

Quality isn't a single inspection. It runs through every stage of the journey.
Source Selection
We buy from established growers in Sri Lanka's cinnamon belt. Raw bark is checked for species authenticity and initial quality.
Processing Oversight
Peeling and quill-rolling follow traditional Sri Lankan methods. We monitor processing to keep quill quality and appearance consistent.
Grade Verification
Each batch is graded to SLS 81 standards. Quill diameter, colour and bark quality are verified before packing.
Packing & Storage
Product is packed in clean, dry conditions in food-grade materials to protect aroma and prevent contamination.
Pre-Shipment Inspection
A final quality check and document review confirm the shipment matches what was quoted and sampled.
Shipping & Documentation
Certificates of origin, phytosanitary certificates and grade specifications travel with every shipment.
Grading Standards
Ceylon cinnamon grading follows the Sri Lanka Standards Institution's SLS 81 specification and international spice-trade conventions. Grades are set by quill diameter, bark thickness, colour and appearance.
We apply these standards strictly. Every shipment is grade-verified before export, so it matches what was quoted and sampled.
Certifications & Compliance
We are working toward industry-standard food safety certifications and are happy to share our current compliance status directly.
All exports comply with Sri Lanka Export Development Board regulations and destination-country import requirements for food-grade spices. Lab analysis can be arranged on request.
