One family. One estate. One promise.

The problem we started with

Sri Lanka grows some of the finest cinnamon in the world. The families who grow it almost never see the profit. By the time a quill reaches a Western supermarket, it has passed through collectors, exporters, importers, distributors, and retailers, and more than 60% of the final price has gone to people who never touched a tree.

The families at the start of the chain do the hardest, most skilled work, growing, harvesting, and hand-rolling each quill, for a fraction of what their cinnamon eventually sells for.

What we do differently

We collapse the chain. Our family runs the estate. We grow, harvest, dry, roll, and pack, then ship directly to the person who's going to brew it. The margin those middle links would have taken stays in two places instead: with you, as a fairer price for genuinely better cinnamon, and with the families who grow it.

The growers on our estate earn a stable wage rather than a per-piece rate. Their children are supported through school. There's a free health clinic on-site for the workers and their families. Every order makes this possible.

Why "true" cinnamon

The cinnamon we grow is Cinnamomum verum, known as true cinnamon, native to Sri Lanka. It is prized for being sweet, delicate, and complex, with a fragrance that unfolds rather than overwhelms, and quills so finely layered they crumble in your hand. It is the spice that traders once sailed oceans to find, and it's the only kind we will ever sell. You can read its full history in our journal.
