Ask about production and quality
Harvesting and peeling
Production starts with Sri Lankan cinnamon. The inner bark is peeled and formed into the thin, layered rolls that distinguish Ceylon cinnamon quills.
Processing and grading
Quills are graded by characteristics such as diameter, appearance, colour and texture. Fine quills suit premium retail, while other grades suit food service, blending and manufacturing.
Inspection and packing
Lalan describes quality checks during processing and before packing. Share your acceptance criteria during sampling so the team can confirm the grade, format and documents needed for your order.
Quality standards and traceability
