Sourcing & Quality
A short, direct path from Sri Lanka to Europe
Every step of our supply chain is built around one goal: preserving the authentic quality of Ceylon spices.
Our supply chain
Direct from Sri Lankan growers
We work directly with growers and processors in Sri Lanka's spice-growing regions, rather than buying through multiple layers of brokers. This keeps our supply chain short, transparent, and easier to control for quality — from harvest, to processing, to export.
Each shipment is prepared with care in Sri Lanka before making its way to our base in the Netherlands, from where we distribute across the Dutch market and the rest of Europe.
What quality means to us
Our Quality Standards
True Ceylon Cinnamon
We specialise in genuine Ceylon Cinnamon, distinct from the cassia cinnamon found in most supermarkets — lighter, more delicately aromatic, and lower in coumarin.
Premium Quality Grading
Our cinnamon, black pepper, and cloves are selected and graded for premium quality before packing, so what reaches you matches what left Sri Lanka.
Organic-Grade Sourcing
Where available, we prioritise organic-grade spices, grown and processed with minimal intervention to preserve natural flavour and aroma.
Straight from the source
From Harvest to Bark
1. Cut
Cinnamon branches are harvested by hand in Sri Lanka's spice gardens.
2. Strip
Branches are trimmed and the bark is separated from the wood.
3. Peel
Skilled hands peel the thin inner bark layer that becomes true cinnamon.
4. Roll
The bark is hand-rolled into the quills that fill every Spring Ceylon pack.
Freshness & packaging
Packed to protect aroma and flavour
Spices lose their character quickly once exposed to air, light, and moisture. We pack our cinnamon, pepper, and cloves promptly after grading, sealing in the aroma that makes true Ceylon spices worth seeking out.
The result is a product that tastes as close as possible to standing in a Sri Lankan spice garden — whichever European kitchen it ends up in.
Powder packaging
Vacuum packed to lock in the grind
Our Ceylon Cinnamon Powder – No. 1 Grade is vacuum packed immediately after milling. Removing the air keeps moisture and oxygen away from the fine, 120-mesh grind, so it stays free-flowing and doesn't clump or dull in aroma before the pack is even opened.
