Cinnamon, Indonesia, Ground, Organic

In America, we previously did not differentiate between the different species of cinnamon because cassia cinnamon was the most commonly used type. The different species of cinnamon were given the blanket name cinnamon, though their quills, taste, and uses can differ. Additionally, outside of America, these different species are often simply called cassia, though that does not tell the whole story.

This Indonesian cinnamon is its own species - Cinnamomum burmanii. Related to cassia cinnamon and harvested much the same way, this cinnamon has a darker color and a pungent, sweet flavor which is why it is often used in desserts like apple pie, cinnamon rolls, or pumpkin bread.
