Viva Doria Organic Ceylon Cinnamon Sticks, 3'' Cut, Cinnamomum Zeylanicum, True Cinnamon, 16 Oz, | 100-110 Sticks | 100% Raw From Sri Lanka

Pros: It breaks easily into 1/3 pieces which seems to be about the equivalent of an entire stick of the commercial brand of cinnamon.Cons: It has a milder smell and flavor of store-bought cinnamon, but I'm ok with that.I put a 1/3 stick in my cup of coffee every morning to help lower my blood pressure. In the summer, I use it to make my own pickling spice for canning sweet pickles. During the fall I use it to make sweet potato and pumpkin dishes and during the winter, I use it to make my own spice for German Gluehwein.

I like cinnamon in my coffee. I always used the store bought cinnamon powder in the past until I learned that there're actually different types of cinnamon. I decided to try out these Ceylon cinnamon sticks and I think I like them better. I steep a stick in my coffee for several minutes to get the flavor out. I re-use the stick multiple times before throwing it away. The flavor is more subtle than the cinnamon powder I used before. I recommend them.

I was initially hesitant to buy this cinnamon due to the mixed reviews, but I'm so glad I did! It's important to note that this is not the typical cinnamon we're used to in the United States. It looks and smells different. After reading about the differences between Cassia and Ceylon cinnamon, I decided to give it a try, and I'm thrilled with the result! This cinnamon is much less overpowering than regular cinnamon and enhances the dish without overwhelming it.

When you buy something, you're really banking on it being top-tier. But let's be honest, hitting that jackpot seems like a rare occurrence these days, doesn't it? However, this time it was different. The package arrived, not with a whimper, but with a bang! It was the cinnamon just as advertised, no nasty surprises or letdowns. It was such a refreshing (and great smelling) change of pace, like a breath of fresh air. It really made me appreciate those moments when things just work out the way they're supposed to. So here's to more 'cinnamon moments' in the future! Yes, this is a real review. I just added a little flare… :)

This is so much better than the cassia cinnamon you usually find in grocery stores. It is light and has crispy layers. Has a sweet cinnamon flavor. I put them in my herbal tea. And if I want ground cinnamon I use a small herb grinder. Having it in the stick form keeps it tasting fresh longer.

Per scientific evidence, Ceylon is the healthier choice between the two different types of cinnamons. However, whenever I desire a true cinnamon taste, I find that Cassia cinnamon sticks are more tasteful and robust than Ceylon. As you know, I must be truthful - I give this cinnamon 5 stars because of its health benefit and not because of its taste because in truth, this cinnamon taste like tree bark with little or no taste. So, whenever I want the true taste of cinnamon, I use Cassia sparingly because after all, humankind must have some enjoyment while we travel mother earth. Be safe, be happy, and most of all enjoy your journey.

Good product. Thank you.

Nice
