Certified organic Ceylon cinnamon powder, ground from the inner bark of Cinnamomum verum, the true cinnamon of Sri Lanka. It carries the organic JAS mark, certified by Control Union, a certification body registered with Japan’s Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF). Every shipment travels with its own Control Union transaction certificate, which Japanese importers need to sell the powder as organic.

Grades

• No. 01 premium: the finest aroma and lightest colour, for retail packs and premium products.
• No. 02: a middle grade for food manufacturing.
• No. 03 standard: organic JAS, a milder aroma and deeper colour, at a lower price.

All grades are milled to 100 to 120 mesh, a fine powder that disperses easily in liquids and suits consumer packs, bakery and beverage use.

Testing and documents

Each lot can be tested by an independent accredited laboratory for microbiology (total plate count, yeasts and moulds, E. coli, Salmonella), coumarin, aflatoxins and ochratoxin A, and pesticide residues, at laboratory cost, agreed before testing. Testing adds about 7 to 10 working days. Steam sterilisation is available on request and confirmed per order with its documentation. The powder is not irradiated.

Packing and shipping

Trial lots from 25 kg are packed in 1 kg sealed bags inside a carton and sent by express courier. From about 250 kg, sea freight is far cheaper per kilo than courier, and 500 kg shipments get the producer’s best prices. Retail packing under your own brand can be arranged in Sri Lanka, so no repacking is needed at your end.

Who buys it

Importers, food manufacturers and retail brands that need certified organic true cinnamon, especially for Japan, where organic JAS is required to label a product organic.
