Product description
Also known as Chinese cassia or Chinese cinnamon, Cassia bark is considered a cousin to cinnamon, with both spices harvested from the bark of plants in the Lauraceae family. They also have similar taste and scent profiles, although cassia bark’s flavour is stronger than cinnamon.
Originating in southern China, the bark is widely cultivated in Southeast Asia and Africa. The evergreen tree can grow up to 60 feet tall, and the bark is grey-brown in colour. When ground, it’s regularly used in traditional Chinese remedies and to spice curries and stews.

Cassia bark oil, obtained by steam or water distillation, promotes wellbeing and relaxation. - Cassia Bark and Cooking
While cinnamon is a good choice for sweet recipes, cassia bark’s slightly bitter, stronger flavour is a better choice for savoury dishes. It’s frequently added to spicy dishes like curries, and is also used as one of the key ingredients in Chinese five spice. It’s also a staple in Indian, Sri Lankan, and Persian cuisines. - Cassia Bark in gin
Gin distillers also make use of Cassia bark’s rich, complex flavour. Whether you’re crafting a classic gin or experimenting with new blends, Cassia adds a distinctive, aromatic depth that true cinnamon just can’t match.
