Cinnamon ~ Indonesian Cassia
$3.00 – $21.60The Greek poet, Sappho, referenced Cassia in 7th century B.C. Though not the “true” Cinnamon, Cassia (also called Chinese Cinnamon) is often sold as Cinnamon in the U.S., where it’s preferred for its strong, spicy and lingering flavor.
Use in both sweet and strong savory dishes: candies, baked goods, meats, preserves, curries, and hot beverages. Cassia, with its intense aromatic qualities and taste, is the popular choice for Cinnamon Rolls.
Available whole in 2 3/4-inch quills (approximately 9 sticks per standard pouch; approximately 15 sticks per plus 50 pouch) or milled to a powder.
Cinnamon ~ Saigon Cassia
$10.00 – $27.00Saigon Cinnamon (aka Vietnamese Cinnamon) is the strongest and sweetest species of Cinnamon available.

Cloves
$9.25 – $12.50Despite attempts at clove monopolies, by the 18th century cloves were grown in many places including Brazil, Tanzania, and Madagascar. The whole Clove looks much like a nail, hence its French namesake, “clou” (nail).

Cocoa Powder, Royal Dutch

Dark

It is the chill night air that we embrace after dinner with a loved one. Dark adds the thrill of unfamiliarity to our most traditional desserts. Add Dark to dishes featuring chocolate – cakes, cookies, sauces, mousse or cocoa. Or, add a rich Mesoamerican flavor to non-chocolate desserts. Sprinkle on cream; add to smoothies, shakes or coffee.
Hand-blended in small batches with Ceylon cinnamon, pure ground vanilla, sweet Chile, black pepper, star anise and mace.
Dawn
$16.00This signature blend delivers some very adult, sentimental flavors to your morning yogurt, transporting you to an exotic place that is somehow familiar and comforting.

Hand blended in small batches: palm sugar, toasted sesame seeds, vanilla, flax seeds, cardamom, ginger, saffron and Ceylon cinnamon.
Quick Tips:
- Try Dawn in coffee, on top of the foam in lattes, sprinkled over buttered toast, or even over popcorn as a kettlecorn stand-in.
